Yes, but not at standard pressure. Assuming that the 0 degrees refers to Celsius, the water will begin to freeze at 0 if pressure is standard. Assuming that the 0 degrees is Fahrenheit, the water has already frozen by the time we reach 0.

However, if pressure is increased, this will tend to force ice to melt regardless of the lower-than-normal-freezing-temperature. This is because liquid water is denser than ice and increasing pressure favors denser forms of matter. (It is important to note that this is a unique trait of water. Most chemicals have an increased density in their solid state.)
