If you've EVER in the life of the car put plain water in the washer system, it's really hard to prevent freezing in the narrow parts of the system. All it takes is one drop of plain water in the system somewhere. You need to get some real washer fluid (the -35 stuff is pretty weak, the -40 is close to OK).
You may be able to drain the old fluid at the bottom of the reservoir by removing a hose (haven't done this on a 9-5 just a 9k). Refill with the good stuff. Park in a heated indoor garage until the nozzles unfreeze enough to spray. Run enough spray cycles that you get new fluid at the nozzles. Never use plain water again.
