Rain water seeps into any cracks in the rock. When the water freezes in winter, the ice expands and the force can be strong enough to split the rock.

Ice wedging breaks the rock apart. Water goes into cracks in the rock and when it freezes, it expands. This can cause rocks to split and eventually break. (see the related link)
How water and ice cause mechanical weathering?
Water will fill small cracks in rocks, overnight this will freeze into ice which is larger that water so forces the crack in the rock to split further. This will repeat over a long time until the rock is cracked so much that is splinters into small fragments of rock which are washed away by rain.
