I would not root now. I know you are anxious, but in the long run your cuttings will suffer. Refrigerate properly and wait it out.
The anxiety to get going is something we have all gone through and having gone through those feelings in the past, I recommend that you wait until at least February

coop951,

Thanks! I know you are right (gulp). I have been growing a few fig varieties for some years, but this is the first (actually second, if I count accidental burying) time I have taken cuttings. I should have done my research before I went! I had no idea that cuttings could be stored.

And thank you for answering what was going to be my next question, about when to take them out of the fridge!

I have tipped them out and am drying them now.
