i'm wondering how long is not long enough? i've had mine cooling at about 55 for a month but temps are getting warmer and i'm not sure how long i can keep it that cool in that room, so i'm wondering would 6 weeks or so be long enough for a cooling period?

If you warm them kind of slowly they'll be fine. I don't brumate mine, (yet anyway) and last year had a clutch of 13 by first-time parents. Your snakes will just think it was a mild winter
