Too cold for broccoli to head up?

My "Goliath" plants have in the garden for seven weeks now and are growing nicely but show no signs of forming heads. They are a 62 day variety (I think) and the temps have averaged 34 morning to 52 afternoon but it's been below freezing about five times. I'm thinking of putting them under fabric tunnels and putting 2.5 gallon dark jugs filled with water for some solar warmth. Will broc head up in the cold?
