outside. so let's take a look. you want to see someplace that's real cold? colorado. how about this. the first ski resort of the season opened up today. this is a basin. they call it a basin out there. it's one of the tallest ski resorts in the country. the summit? 13,500 feet. they have one ski resort -- ksk run open and one lift. that didn't stop hundreds of people from get k out there. they take their skiing seriously. for the record today, a low of 46. we ended very nicely. the record high, 86 degrees. currently sitting at 58 degrees. last night at this time, we were down around 52. a few degrees warmer. winds out of the south around 10 miles an hour. down to 46 in frederick, 48 in leesburg. 57 down towards fredericksburg.
