Default Windshield Washers not Working - Need Ideas ASAP

I have a 5 hour road trip today for work & just started out for it when I couldn't get my windshield washers to work.

Fluid is topped off with a mix of the blue fluid and green fluid. Fluid in reservoir does not appear to be frozen. just topped it off before leaving.

It was very windy and snowing last night and about 20F deg. last night. I park outside.

I can here something running when I hit the switch....but no spray.

Rear wiper (Avant) works fine.

Currently have the car idling in the driveway to warm the washer lines up to see if that helps.

Any other ideas?

Default I've had this car outside in worse/colder weather....no problems.

Must have been that blowing snow last night that swirled around into the nozzels.

Shrug.
