Depends where you are. The most northern population will go down "south" for the winter. However geese that are in an environment which can sustain them year-round may not migrate; if there is open water and food they can stay there. Then there are the entirely winter populations which go into the southern states for winter then go back north for the breeding season.

Yes geese are suppose to fly south for the winter.

Most geese do -- but it is a "relative" south! Since they breed up in the tundra areas of Hudson Bay, places like Delaware (which is a major geese over-wintering area) qualify as "south" -- as does most of the rest of the world!
There are, however, more and more "resident" geese happening, due to farming, golf courses, and other readily available food sources.
