Freeze Protection

We are having the coldest Dec. in 18 years here in No. ILL. This follows a very cold Nov. Today I checked the antifreeze in my 2 Packards, and the 55 I purchased last spring is only good to about 15 degrees. The car is in a garage, but if I don't heat it I'm worried it might get colder than the antifreeze is good for. I don't want to add antifreeze as I have a bad water pump and need to change it out. If I drain all the antifreeze/water out of the radiator will it be safe? A little concerned about the water left in the block.
