not really you probably need to break them in a little more. new tires have release lube from the mold, also any tires that have been stored for some time have dry outer surface that needs to be broken through with normal driving.
snow tires have deep tall tread so the squirm is quite noticable at first but you'll get use to it. in the winter it's all about safety and getting through without an incident.  in actual snow there is a night/day difference between snow and all-season tires. summer tires in snow for RWD is pretty much like parking your car under a telephone pole with 100 pigeons.
