Any help will be greatly appreciated, as the outdoor temperature is

Hi,
Model of outside unit, furnace inside and your thermostat?
Do you have a multimeter? How many wires are on the 'stat.
When you are calling for cooling, you should see 24V AC between
terminals on the 'stat R and G and again between R and Y(since outside
fan runs you must see 24V AC here) If you don't see 24V AC between R and
G 'stat is bad.

Furnace is Coleman 8.T and the AC unit is a Lennox HS18-411-5P.
