I think it lowers the freezing point of water. Because if you put ice, water, and salt in a cooler it gets colder without freezing...

"water that has salt dissolved in it has to be colder before it freezes."

Exactly!! Freezing point depression caused by Na+ and Cl- ions in solution. Here's an example of how to calculate how much salt will affect the freezing point.

Salt, being an electrolyte, affects a certain colligative property of ice(which is just solidified water), freezing point depression. it lowers the freezing point of ice such that it will not melt easily.
