Geuss Jk's do not have factory heated washers.
Guy at work had the same issue even with the -40C stuff in his washer bottle, what he did find out eventualy for the fix as he washed his car alot in the winter, if he used the washer nozzle before he brought the car back out into the cold it would never freeze up. If he didn't it would always freeze up.
So maybe next time your heading somewere cold just give it a couple squirts to be sure no water has backed it's way into the nozzles, if your fluid in the resevoir is frozen then I'd think problem & fix would be a no brainer.

exactly.
if you know that tomorrow begins the new ice age you'll need to purge your system if you expect your washers to work. same thing goes if you wash your car in the winter. purge.
