Default Cold weather toasters -- frozen windsheild wiper hose?

I've had the car for a week, bought it in Florida and drove it up north to cold Michigan. My windsheild wiper hose has frozen twice so far. It has never happened to any of my other cars before.

I suppose it could be a different type of fluid used in FL that freezes sooner, or somehting wrong w/ the hose.

Anyone have this problem? (suggestions?)

Just curious...how many times are you going to post this?

Get de-icer and be happy. You will need to bleed some of the non de-iced fluid out for it to work.

siphon out the old and add prestone de-icer and it wont freeze. Then in spring go back to the blue stuff.

I think that's happened on every vehicle I've owned. I never remember to put the low temp washer fluid in. When it get's blue ___ cold, stuff freezes.
