So I am fermenting a Superior Strong Ale from midwest. It is in my basement right now and actively going. I'm not sure the temp at this very moment but it is cooler than my house right now (65f) ... (heating fuel is so damn expensive). I have it wrapped in a fleece. Any thoughts?

You're fine. I wouldn't even wrap it unless the temps got into the low 50s. The lower temps will give you a cleaner flavor and less hot alcohol which is common at higher temps and high gravities.

If it's actively fermenting, you're okay for now. I would move it upstairs after 3-7 days, just to make sure it finishes where it's supposed to.
