Temps look normal to me considering your level of grill blocking, the cold weather, and assuming efficient driving techniques. The fact that you are 8 degrees below the rated temp tells me you can block even more. Try blocking the entire lower grill.

I can get away with about 90% grill blocking on my vehicles during our more moderate winters.
