You see this guy!!! He lives next to the North Pole and tells him to move

Ok as a Trucker I know Old Man Winter very well and he don't play when it comes to washer fluid!
Ok this what ya need to do go to the nearest Truck Stop or Wallmart and see if they got windsheild fluid rated at 20 deg or less buy it then get in your car then run all that fluid out just sit there and have a blast hit'n the windsheild fluid button pretend it's Nitro and while ya in the seat go Verrrrooom!!!

Just kidd'n just run it all out to make sure all the water is out of the system mabey you or the guy who had it before you ran it with water and or soap and that is probably what is freezing or it could be summer rated fluid still the system which has less methanol in it and then refill it with the winter rated fluid you just bought .

Now if ya really still have the problem and it's really really seems like the best stuff ain't working mix rubbing Alcohol (The clear type not the green) in the fluid dispenser on ya car about a quater half a bottle of Alcohol should do the trick.

Now there is a draw back to using Alcohol it tends to dry the rubber hoses out on your windsheild blades and you'll hafta replace them come spring time also right were the rubber meets the sprayers (must be tightened up) after you put the rubbing Alcohol in with the windshild fluid becuse they tend to loosen up on a warm day and when you really need them next winter day they may pop off so use some bread bag ties (the old fashion metal types not plastic) and a pair of pliers to do that but not too tight because the rubber may be sliced by the bread tie when you tie it on.

Trust me I have seen some bad weather and along with it bad drivers so be carefull and good luck
