Yup.

Or the temp sensor.

I changed both when this happened to me so I don't know which specifically solved it

aside from your thermostat and temp sensor also check your heater hose...that could be a problem to...because when i had my gsr swap i didnt have any heat because of that pinched hose....

If the car takes a while to warm up it is the thermostat. Also check how much antifreeze you have, make sure you have enough because when you run low on antifreeze the cooling system is built so the heater core is the highest point so that it sacrifices heat to protect the engine.

A quick fix is to partially cover your radiator with cardboard on the outside. Chances are you don't want to be changing your T sat with the snow storm that is about to rape you guys. Just keep your eye on the temp gauge, if it starts to heat up just cover less of your radiator. This is also a good check to see indeed it is your thermostat before you go through the trouble of changing in case it is not the T sat.

Cheers and good luck with the storm!
