So, after wanting to "get into woodworking" for 20 years, I've finally
started dabbling a bit. I endured several cold evenings in my un-heated
garage in the middle of this pretty cold Illinois winter. I now have a
small project I would like to varnish... but the varnish says not to apply
if it's below 55 degrees. My unfinished garage has no heat, and won't be
above 55 degrees for a couple of months. And I can't varnish in the house
because my wife can't handle the fumes.

Do I just have to wait for it to warm up?

Make an adult decision.
