If it is a older jag the wipers probably run off vacume so as it warms up the vacume gets better you may have a vacume leak.If it is a older jag the wipers probably run off vacume so as it warms up the vacume gets better you may have a vacume leak.

Remove the cowl panel in front of the windshield and check the wiper transmission, it may be broken or the nut that holds it to the wiper drive motor has worked loose.
Can you getting into some place above 32f or 0c? If so do. Let it warm up and see if it helps. The grease maybe to thick in the transmission of the wipers two there could be ice or snow packed around the unit.
If it was doing it when it was warmer check the units ground.
i try this before, you can try this,you need to remove the negative battery for 5minutes and return, and try to use the wiper again, if still does not work, check your fuse/relay for the wiper.
Sounds to me like the "parking" contacts inside the wiper motor have broken off / worn.
Needs to remove wiper moter / dismantle to inspect. (On some models you can purchase these contacts.)
You need to remove the cover at the base of the blade and oil or grease the mecanism that makes the wiper move up and down and it moves across the windshield. It is dried out and sticking.
