Your in NJ so you know you will get snow, most likely real snowstorms, not the little 3" things.
If you drive it everyday, the best thing is to get 4 cheap wheels and a set of Blizzaks, like everyone else said. Then just swap the wheels when the weather turns to spring. Otherwise, get the Blizzaks and just mount them for the winter but that can be a pain getting them mounted, balanced, etc.
I would never get all-seasons in the snow belt. All-season are best for the border states. They do BETTER than Snows from 20 - 50 degrees and, of course, better than performance tires in the same temp range with rain, cold rain, light snow. For real snow, you need real snow tires.
If you were a little bit south, maybe Maryland, Northern VA, all-seasons would be fine.
