Unlikely using a shovel/pick, the frozen ground is the trouble. With a backhoe and a big enough root ball shouldn't be a problem as the plant is dormant this time of year anyways. Lots of water in the Spring.

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

I don't think the ground is that frozen. Even with the cold temps the past month it's right alongside our foundation.

And this would have to be dug by hand...I think 36" deep at the most.

The breadth is also important to get a really big root ball for established plants. Wrap in burlap and try to keep as much dirt undisturbed as possible. This is the hard part when doing by hand. Edit hardest part: hope you have an axe as you'll most likely need it cut the larger roots, both lateral and deep down.
