But mostly everyone congregated inside and not even a seat by the fire seemed appealing.
As for vendors, it's been a difficult few days for sales.
"Usually on Friday's we're busy, but because of the cold we're not as busy as we would like to be," said Jade Jimenez of Whoops Macaroons and Gifts.
But she says her macaroons are perfect for a night in. However, you just got to make a quick trip to get them.
"Cuddling up with anyone, a dog or a pet. These are perfect and delicious," said Jimenez.
But at the Chosen 300 Ministries on Spring Garden they were doing their part to make things warm.
They held a worship service and let those who need them grab a new warm winter coat.
