Frozen windshield washer nozzles?

Frozen windshield washer nozzles?
Past couple days it's been between 3 and 10 degrees. The nozzles keep freezing up. Even after driving for an hour and trying over and over, last night I could not get any fluid to come out. I have straight washer fluid in there that says it good to -20, nothing diluted. Anyone have a solution to this issue? Thanks.

Take a look at the last 2 items on this page. I use the Deicer fluid in the winter. Can't say I have ever had a freeze problem. The second Item might be what you are looking for.

I am glad you have never suffered through frozen nozzles but since I am not a regular denison of the frozen northern wastelands I am not about to throw perfectly good washer fluid out because of an emergency trip. The fluid that was in the tank was rated to around -30F but that does not cut the mustard when it is -15 to -20 and you are traveling about 60mph. Add a little rain in KC the night before and they will freeze up. I will build my heated nozzles and maybe I will construct a few kits and sell them instead of just share the plans.
P.S. I opened my tailgate on Friday morning at a shown -27 F, approx. -50F with the wind chill,and the latches froze in the open position.
