Yes,
That is why anti-freeze works.
Soluble materials in water lower the freezing point. I think salt lowers the freezing point of water to -26 C, but don't quote me on that, go look it up yourself.

The rate at which water freezes is determined by the rate of transfer of heat. Salt causes freezing to occur at a lower temperature, but the rate is determined by environmental conditions such as air circulation, and contact with cold surfaces.

salt will lower the temperature at which water freezes. a salt solution will not freeze into ice at 0 degrees celsius.
thats why sea water does not freeze when the temperature hits 0 celsius.

Salt lowers the freezing temperature of water because it interferes with crystalization.
