I dripped my pipes but apparently that wasn’t enough to stop the freeze. I have no cold water flowing to the sink any more am I in for a huge issue when the weather warms up?

Dripping a faucet won't do shite on a hard freeze.

Bundle up and get out a hair dryer.

If you had a valve open it's possible the expanding ice went up and down the pipe but not out and you might be OK. Or not...

This. If they are accessible

If you are 100% PEX plumbed then you might be ok. PEX will expand quite a bit before it breaks.

3 years ago I was without water for 2 weeks. It was awful. I used every dish I owned 
Showered every third or so day at work. I felt like a god damn European.

What type of pipe? PVC, copper, galvanized, or pex?

Find where they are frozen and crank up the space heater.

I’m not currently in my home. I have several faucets with a slow stream and outside spigots wrapped. House in on slab with no exposed pipes. Am I ok, or should I turn off the water at the main and drain everything inside?

Probably gonna die

Same here, turned water off and drained lines.

I think OP’s power has been out since last night. That’s probably why

I’m just running my outside water at a good stream and running inside water every couple hours to get new water rubbing through.

Really? All I did was drip my faucets last night and it got down to 7. Old pier & beam house too.
