"Isn't it too cold on the Martian surface for even saline water to be liquid?"

No. There are lakes in Antarctica whose hypersaline bottom water is at about the same temp. as some of the surface temps on Mars. Given that the Mars water probably has other salts than sodium chloride, liquid water is probably possible.

And that appears to be the case here. Granted, it will probably evaporate after a while due to the low pressure.
