Same here, In my case it`s appr 2miles usually taking 5-8mins driving, depending on traffic but very light driving, several redlights, Winter cond.
Idk if it makes a diff but heat/blower is definitely off (it`s often 14-20F (-5,-10C) now in the mornings)

My lower hose is always somewhat (or more) `colder` than the upper one, even after driving an hour at 65mph.
A digital (non-contact) thermometer is your friend there
