No heat in 98 Blazer
I have a 98 Blazer, 4.3 V-6. Engine is not running hot, just under 210 degrees. Not getting any heat out of the heater, going to get real cold this weekend. Could it be the thermostat?

Just under 210 degrees seems hot enough for the engine
Confirm flow from engine thru heater core by feeling both heater hoses. One should be quite warm and the other cooler then the first.

if in fact your temp guage is correct, then the engine is providing enough heat, so either your coolant system is low on coolant or your heater core is plugged, or a blend door is not working properly, check the hoses and coolant level, make sure no vacum hoses are broken or off. if all of this checks out then you will need to start attempting to get under your dash and access the blend door to see if it moves properly.

Happens to my wife's 01' Blazer every year. Remove the heater hoses and back flush the heater core with a water hose real good. Heat will probably start working then.
