If the place where you live shut's down or delays opening on as little as a forecast for snow, you probably don't need snow tires. A decent set of wet traction all-season's should probably do the trick just fine.

If life goes on only slightly inconvenienced when snow blankets and sticks in your area, then you probably need a good set of snow tires.

Tirerack has great prices (even shipped) on all tires, and will mount them on a steel rim for an extra 28 bucks per tire (I guess that depends on your carriage). It could easily cost you that much ($28) to have them mounted before winter, and changed back come spring.
