Cut back herbs in fall?

Hi all-

I have recently acquired my first home (in zone 4b-5b), which came with a beautiful garden. There are a variety of herbs such as sage, greek oregano, basil and thyme. I'm new to gardening and was wondering if I need to prune back any of these before the snow hits or if I should wait until spring. I've already pulled the basil, which I know is an annual. Would the other herbs benefit from a pruning since they seem not to have been harvested much during the summer? And would it damage them at all to harvest some for drying right now? Thanks for any input...
