In theory, yes.
It all depends on the weather, but then again doesn't all gardening!
Frost is your only real enemy in regards to turfing in January. It can check or damage newly laid turf, but it is unlikely to kill it.
I live in the South of England and am due to lay turf in the next week or so. Only hard frosty ground or ground covered in snow is likely to stop me. If it's that cold then you wont be able to unroll the turf!
As we are experiencing ridiculously mild weather for this time of year, it is perfectly possible to lay turf now.
If you can wait, then wait until the weather warms up and the grass starts growing more actively, but if you can't, then look ahead at the weather forcast. If it's mild and moist and doesn't predict hard frost or snow, then go ahead and give it a go.
Hope you have every success.

In S California, S Texas, S Florida, tropics elsewhere, yes. Everywhere else - northern hemisphere - cool season grasses (green in winter) best to wait till March-April. Warm season grasses (brown in winter) best to wait till May-June.

Only in a moderate climate - above freezing level and a little rainy, like Pacific NW, California - not sure about southern US.
Spring would be better. More sun, better growth.

You can. Grass is evergreen and grows all year round. It is frost proof, rain proof, even drought proof (our grass is very green indeed now despite having been brown as brown last summer).

all depends whether or not you got a tall hedge- you could get arrested otherwise

No. It's too cold. It won't die but it won't grow and bed in.
