Yes, if the snail has an operculum (the trap door at the opening of a shell) it can live out of water for a longer period of time by conserving moisture in it's shell.

Do pond goldfish eat pond snails?

Goldfish are omnivors and will eat very young snails that have not yet developed their hard shell. If you have pond snails in your cold water tank, you have a very hard problem to fix. The only reliable way to remove them is to strip the tank down and replace or boil all the rocks, and gravel. Then after a good rinse leave the gravel in the sun for a week or so to completely dry out. All your plants would have to be replaced because snail eggs are almost invisible and you would never be able to find them all. A hint. Never buy or collect plants from anyone if you even suspect there are water snails present.
