You don't need to put the snow tires on till there's actual snow on the ground and I've personally never used them. Also if you can avoid it don't drive during the first winter storm of the season as everyone seems to forget how to drive in wintery conditions during the summer

Actually, you should arrange to get the snow tires on NOW. It will take a month to get the appointment.

Part of Maine had it's first measurable snow last night.

Also find an empty parking lot with someone who knows how to drive in snow and let them teach you. At the very least, get a feel for how your car feels and handles in a slide. Also be aware that slush or snow outside the path worn down by other ppl driving will pull your car left or right into the tire tracks depending on speed
