Yes. The absolute temperature of "outer space" is around 2,8 K (degrees Kelvin), just a little above absolute zero.

The "triple point" ov water where ice, liquid and steam can coexist (also the freezing point of water is about 273 K, or 270 degrees "hotter" than the background radiation in space.

Ice can be cooled to lower temperatures than the triple point but I doubt if it can exist at temperatures below 2,8 K (maybe some other expert here at wikianswers knows about that?)
