Question Will the car overheat

I was just stuck in traffic for over an hour in the snow and my temp went up to 219. I started reving the engine and it started to go down. What if I didn't notice the temp, would it eventually overheat or is that when the cooling system would start? It happened twice today.

That's fine.

After 230 is when you should start worrying.

Yeah, no doubt all the worrying here is why some manufacturers (cough - Ford - cough) put "stupid" gauges in their cars - they have like 3 positions, "cold", "normal", and "hot".... always points right up at normal all the time unless the car seriously overheats ... but it cuts down on people worrying (or wasting time and money at the dealer) every time there's the slightest fluctuation.
