No i would use screen wash.
Regular washer fluid has something in it that keeps it from freezing as quick as straight water would. If it gets extremely cold it may get slushy but will not freeze to the point of breaking the washer jug. There is winter washer fluid that I assume stays liquid at lower temperature's.

Why would Windshield washers work in warm weather but not in cold?
Possibly freezing. Make sure you are using Windshield Washer Fluid and not water.
Why is anti-freeze added to car windscreen wash?
You do not want your windshield washer fluid to become solid in temperatures below freezing, because this could damage your washers and prevent them from working. You should not, however, use engine coolant/antifreeze in your washer fluid, because it is toxic and can damage your paint. Commercial washer fluids contain a weaker antifreeze that is much less toxic and unlikely to damage your paint.
Can you put antifreeze in windshield water?
Technically you can! It is not advisable as Anti-Freeze will cause damage to the bodywork of your car and when you spray the washers it will of course end up on the bodywork somewhere.
