Damage isn't everything. Weavers of Magic often find themselves facing a difficult dilemma in combat: fight or flight. When the latter option is decided, nothing does a better job of ensuring safety than Cold Snap. With a snap of the fingers, the caster summons a clump of freezing ice crystals from the ground. These frosty shards stab upward at the targeted location, impaling and freezing anything they strike. Though the damage from Cold Snap is low, it is a powerful when employed against other players in combat.

Description on the official Path of Exile website [1]

Cold Snap is a spell that deals cold damage to enemies in an area and has a high chance to freeze. Note that while Cold Snap has a flat 30% minimum chance to freeze, due to the way freeze mechanics work, enemies will only be frozen if the damage done by Cold Snap exceeds a minimum required percentage of the target's life.
