Not unless it’s some kind of magical water that remains liquid well under it’s normal freezing temperature.

Given enough of a concentration of salt, water will remain liquid below its normal freezing temperature. Hence...

Although it is too cold for water to still be in liquid form, might the drasticly reduced air pressure/gravity allow for its apparent liquid state?

That's where the salt comes in. The greater the salinity of the water, the lower the freezing point.

Vinny Gambini: Are we to believe that boiling water soaks into a grit faster in your kitchen than anywhere else on the face of the earth?
Mr. Tipton: I don’t know.
Vinny Gambini: Well, I guess the laws of physics cease to exist on top of your stove. Were these magic grits? Did you buy them from the same guy who sold Jack his beanstalk beans?
