You could have a kink in the hose(s) that runs up to the sprayer thingys (that's the highly technical term) from the reservior OR the sprayer thingys could be clogged. Just a thought.

Windshield wiper fluid shouldn't freeze unless it was very very diluted (you often see this in the containers by the pumps at gas stations). To check for sure just take off the cap and insert a stick into the fluid. If it is frozen you can remove the tank and let it thaw indoors or you can park your car somewhere a bit warmer and wait it out. If it is not frozen it is probably the pump that gets the fluid from the tank onto your windshield.

Yes it can be frozen or clogged the first day it thaws add some good sub zero fluid. stay on the pump until about 1/2 cup comes out. also tru checking the spray holes (thats rare unlsee u have had the car buffed or machine polished) clean hole with a pin. also open the hood and try cheching for disconnected hoses (verry rare) have someone hold the pump lever and listen under the hood (usually behind the headlamps) for the pump noise. most pumps are loud.
good luck

Probably so. Go to a do-it-yourself car wash. Spray the wipers, and rubber hoses on the wipers with rinse water. Just make sure the water is not hot or you may crack the windshield.

Yes absolutely. It happened with me. Put some de-icer mix in your winshield washer fluid. That will prevent it from freezing.
