I'll probably have to wait until St Louis to grab anything cold weather related.

PS I think it is actually colder than Canada right now

In case of an emergency, just add half a bottle of rubbing alcohol to the windshield washer reservoir and you should be good to go. Learned this from a truck driver, after my rental car had frozen washer fluid in reservoir and all of the pipes, back in Quebec/Canada. Poured the alcohol in there and after a few minutes kept pressing the spray button so the melted fluid could work/melt its way up the frozen pipes and finally through the sprayer onto the windshield.
