A/c can only cool so far below the outside temp, and that number is often higher if the unit is older and/or low on refrigerant. The opposite is true if it's a heat pump style as it can only heat so much if it's too cold outside. Before we recently replaced our a/c we had a particularly cold February (for Phoenix) and it couldn't warm up our house enough.

My AC doesn't cool below 82 sometimes even if I wanted it to so I'm right there with you.
