Roll out was a pain for me too until I started sandwiching the dough between 2 sheets of plastic or parchment paper before roll out begins.Each type of wrap has a different advantage.

Should you opt for plastic wrap sprinkle/spray a little water on the counter surface before you place the plastic and it'll move less.
Probably making pie and cookie doughs this weekend since the humidity should be low and it won't be cold enough for the building to turn on the heat. On my end it gets difficult making doughs when the heat is turned on which is one of the reasons I freeze doughs for holidays when the steam heat is going full blast.
