Deep freeze. Pipe question

Going to be below freezing for 3+ days here in Atlanta with early morning temps in the low teens.

Water turned off to all outside spigots and covered. Here’s my concern…house is on a slab so most plumbing (copper) runs through the attic. Two H2O tanks are also in the attic as are furnaces (heat pumps). Attic ceilings are not insulated, only floors.

I’ve insulated the hot water pipes for obvious reasons but never thought to insulate the cold. Will make a trip to HD today to get more pipe insulation if they’re not already sold out and leave water dripping overnight. What’s my risk of attic pipes freezing? Heard horror stories from last years TX deep freeze.
