My opinion too, unless it was a very short drive. Tyler you should be seeing a minimum 190 ECT at normal operating temperature even at 45* ambient.

That would be my guess. They stick open when they "fail" to prevent overheat or in this case not enough heat. It will actually help winter fuel combustion efficiency.
