When is it time to change to Winters?

I apologize if this has been covered, but was curious when the best time is to change to winter tires? Purchased my first Camaro on Monday and just trying to get things in order. I live in SE Pennsylvania. I was thinking October through March would be best, any opinions?

It is all based on temperature for most, the stock perellis are not to be ran under 44 farenheit. so when the temp dips below that consistantly they should probably be changed over.

Once the nights start getting colder and dropping into the lower 40s.

Much thanks. I figured that would be about right. Just wanted some backup.

I usually change to winter tires around halloween. Then in march depending on the weather, I switch to summers.
