Is that actual temp or just what gauge reads ?

The first leg of my commute is only a 10 minute drive which drops about 100 feet elevation, and so has a lot of coasting right after the cold-start. This is why my actual engine coolant temp stays pretty low during the first leg of my commute.
If not for all the coasting, normal operating temp is 190*F. It gets up to temp fairly quick with a steady highway cruise, but that's not what I'm testing here.
