Isn't that pretty strange for a gator to be out and about, much less aggressive, when it's in the 30's?

I'm not questioning you, just curious. I live on the mobile delta and there are literally hundreds of alligators in this area and I haven't seen one in weeks

Water temps are not = to outside temps. It takes several days of cold weather to bring the water temps down. We have a couple of upper 30 degree days then a couple of 70 degree days.

Yep but maybe it could have been a female protecting her nest. Although I think that would be more likely in the summer.
