Is my tire toast?

Just noticed this today, must have been from a pot hole or some debris on the road... No puncture, looks like it's just a chunk of the rubber that's been taken out, drove home about 50 miles and damaged area didn't get bigger...

These are the stock tires... I'm in NJ so was planning on switching over to winter tires mid / end of November.

Does this kind of damage pose any real danger?

Should I bite the bullet and just switch to winter tires now (temperatures right now are low 60's mid 50's as a high and then mid 40's as low... with random spikes of "hot" 70 days and cold sub 40 days)?
