Had the same problem

during my recent trip from Detroit to Chicago. Windy, light snow then sunny condition and temp was within 12-18F all the way. The washer worked just fine for the most of driving, then all the sudden quit as if I run out the fluid. Rear washer (I got SW) kept working just fine when windshield/ headlights washer quit, so fluid was still left, and pump was doing its job. Then 30 min after parking, the problem was gone.
The fluid is still factory fill so I expect no issues there (I guess it's one of the best out there to handle Scandinavian whether with that smell like rubbing alchohol!) I noticed a little slush built up around the nozzles, but it was not solid ice so the fluid should have not been frozen anywhere under the hood where should be much warmer than outside at +80mph wind. Removing slush did not help. I heard the pump running all the time. Did not have time to check under the hood before problem was gone. I hope I do not see the problem again, but if I do I will dig deeper. I suspect intermittent failure of the one-way valve. I remember the problem with those with my long gone C900, which actually leaked out fluid and caused no spray (but it was not intermittent problem.)
