Yes

Explanation:

Using the First law of Thermodynamics (Energy Conservation)

#delta W+delta U+delta E=0#

as temperature is constant so #delta E =0#
No external energy enters or leaves the system (air-water)

Ice expands on freezing (anomalous expansion of water)

Energy is used to push against the atmosphere due to expansion.

Thus internal energy goes down - so heat is lost.
