Having malfunctions with my heat pump

Wintertime is officially here. Days have become so much shorter, we have received at least four snowfalls so far and my seasonal depression is starting to set in. I am the type of person who constantly needs at least an hour a day of sunlight to feel energized and refreshed! And with wintertime I feel like there comes a lot of repairs. My heatpump decided to go all haywire on me right during a freezing cold spell. The temperatures have been in the negatives for three days straight when the heat pump started acting really strange. When I was taking a look at the measurements it seemed that my thermostat differential was at two degrees, my thermostat was set to seventy-one degrees, and my thermostat was reading sixty-nine degrees. When I turned on the system the compressor and blower came on and the air out of my vents reached to about 105 degrees. I thought that with that amount of heat it would eventually shut off. However it did not and after twelve minutes by thermostat still read sixty-nine degrees, basically my blower continued to run. And then when I measured the heat coming out of my vents it read sixty-nine degrees. I tried shutting off my system but when I did the blower still would run. I had to go to my breaker just to shut the heat pump off. I had a feeling that something was majorly wrong so instead of trying to fix it myself, I dialed my HVAC technician immediately to see if he could battle the problem.
