Frozen water bootle wrapped in a cloth - not all that impractical.



You really need cooler temps, but it does not have to be 24 hrs. Even 4 hrs of cooler temps is better than none.



Cage on the floor is one way to help. A piece of granite tile inside the cage will stay cooler than the air. The frozen water bottle will keep the surrounding substrate cooler than the air for quite some time. Snake won't freeze - they are better than that.



Finding a room if possible that faces North or East helps too.



Might as well turn all heat off this time of year.
