Is this normal for block heater?

It has been around 25* in the mornings here. Coolant temp starts at around 32*, then pulg in block heater for 2 hours or so and coolant hits around 90*.

Is that about right? Never used a heater before, had a bigger garage that was my heater.

What is the wattage for the block heater? I was told or read it was 100w which seems kinda low.
