Default windshield washer nozzles

It is hard for me to believe that FORD would engineer such a great pickup, built in Detroit, and never experienced the nozzles freezing in the winter. My 05 sits in the driveway, too long for the garage; any time it snows and the temperature is around 20 or less the noozles don't work. I've looked and the washer fluid hosesare inside the cowling. Somehow I need to vent hot air to these noozles.
Any ideas?

I've lived here in Colorado for 30 years. Thisvehicle is the first for me to have its nozzles freeze. It is the location of the nozzle. With the hoses snaked through the cowling and the nozzle in thegrillthe engine heat cannot help.I have to carry a spray bottle to keep the windshield clear driving on the highway.

It's all in the washer solution that you use. Must be using water instead of solvent.
