Default Winter break in/Tuning and running

Is it a good idea to break my engine in during the winter? I live about an hour north of Toronto in Canada so right now our temps are around -10 Celcius which I guess is roughly 14 degress Fahrenheit. I'm gonna be buying a new truck soon and I wanted to break in it and drive it around in the snow.

Does anyone have a link to a guide on how to get your car ready for snow? I know I gotta protect the electronics and heat up the heatsink and let it idle before getting it going. But how about tires? I see lots of people with chains on their tires. How do you usually go about doing that?

Is there anything else I should know?
