250F is overheat so between the 180 line and 250 line is normal.

One thing Brucelee brought to my attention was my higher weight oil. I use 15W50 so mine is normally in the 195+ range, even when it's cool outside.

Just check your coolant level when it's cold for a few days and make sure it's not going down and look in the front vent holes to see if stuff is collecting in the radiator fins. You can put some covers on the vents that will allow the air through and keep the junk out. I have them and the radiators stay clean except for very small stuff.
