Some finches do fly south in winter, such as the Goldfinch, and Purple Finch. Pine Siskins move south in the winter, as do Evening and Pine Grosbeaks. Note: There is not total agreement on the migration of Goldfinches as a regular winter pattern, but they will definitely move south in winter as food supplies are depleted. Goldfinches in the northernmost areas of their range do withdraw southward in winter. Source; Peterson Field Guide to the Birds.
