If you were going to do a track day in warm weather on winter tires you might have a problem. Normal driving should be no issue. The traction will not be what summer tires would have but should be fine as long as you don't get too "spirited". Winter weather in the south is also not terribly warm. Maybe 50s for high and around freezing for lows. Winter tires are not a terrible idea even in the southern U. S..
