Running summer tires in the southeast during winter?

1.) fishtailed making a simple right turn

3.) fishtailed when the auto tranny shifted, while briskly accelerating up the hill by my house
4.) Almost blew a stop sign when attempting to stop normally at a stop sign near my house. (Speed limit is 45mph on this street). ABS engaged, and came to a stop with my back wheels on the crosswalk.
I believe you can drive ok with these tires in these conditions if you are super careful, but I have zero confidence you'll avoid an accident in an emergency situation with these tires in these conditions based on my experiences.
Most reviews/tests I've read, (even tire-racks tests), showed that dry and wet (especially wet) traction fall off a cliff with cold temps on summer tires.
