   When press the button can you hear the pump working? If you can then either the water is frozen or the jets/tubing is blocked try hot water poured down the jets.

   Its most likely the pump then you can get them for about a tenner at Halfords, take your old one out of the bottom of washer fluid tank so you can match the right one up.

   You see all that white stuff outside, covering everything.
   
   Its pretty cold stuff.
   
   Now then, i'm not a scientist.. But i would guess its something to do with water falling to a certain temperature has caused it to solidify and turn to a solid material named 'ICE'.
