Usually some time in November or when the temp is consistently in the 30s. Last year?...never did.

Every year, multiple times. And come spring, at least 3 more people will ask when to switch to summer tires. Never fails.

depending on what temperature works best with your tires, id say do it when that special temperature starts to stick around.

After the 1st snow is when most people do it.

Early November last year but looking at conditions is always the final judge. I will swap when temps drop below 50 high (consistently) or 25 low.
