2001 Blazer LT. While driving home in a pretty good snowstorm the
other night, the rear washer apparently goes kaput. Plenty of washer
fluid in the reservoir (front washers work ok), and I can hear the
pump motor "working" when I push the button on the dash, but no fluid
to the rear window.

Anyone want to make a diagnosis and suggest the fix?

Thanks!

Common one is a plugged rear nozzle, next common problem is the line
breaking at the junction inside the headliner (on vehicles with the
large rear hatch) or under the rear floor mat on the tailgate equipped
ones. My usual first step is to put a chunk of air hose over the nozzle
and apply 5-10 pounds of air and see if I can get bubbles in the
reservoir. If yes then it was probably blocked. If no you listen/feel
for the leak. The lines coming apart makes a MESS under the carpet or
inside the headliner.

Check a pinched hose were the snap that holes the hose to the wiper arm is..
