The latch probably seized with cold weather.
Get the car into a warm garage. Get engine degreaser and spray the both hood latches. Wipe off excess runoff. Then lubricate with silicone spray. Teflon spray is OK too. Then lube the hood cables, both inside the cabin and in the engine compartment.

Adjust the hood stops or the latches themselves, the spring loaded mechanisms on the sides of the hood latch can be adjusted. If too tight they won't stay closed.
Mine were rusted this year and I thought it would be a simple R&R but I ended up needing an hour to fumble with the adjustability. That reminds me I need to lubricate the seals on the hood and the latches for winter.

Did you take the X to the dealer for the 100,000 miles service?
If not bring it in so that they can spray lubricant on the latch so that it moves freely.

Also look for accident damage if you just got the car.
