The temperatures you are talking about and the amount of time you arte talking about, is no big deal. You are wanting to keep these plants dormant anyway, because if you were to force new leaves inside, they would look real long and stringy because they are sun stretched. Under cover, a sago can handle into the upper teens before the leaves will even burn off, so you should be just fine.
