I just went to CT and ordered the WinterContact SI. I booked an appointment to get them mounted and balanced later this week. Cost me $87 for mount/balance, tire disposal fee, and shop supplies fee. I probably could have saved money by just picking up the 4 tires and getting it installed elsewhere, but whatever. Time is money too. Don't want any more hassle.

I'll wait until temps are consistently below 7°C, and I mean as in it's that cold when it's during the day, and closer to freezing at night.
IMO, It's "Too soon, Junior"
But if you don't want to work in the cold (if you DIY) or have even longer line ups, it wouldn't hurt to get it done earlier. Once it gets cold enough like in mid-late Nov, I can imagine lineups for wheel installing will be even worse than now.
