Hunt the (possible) snow or play it safe and get out

1
We are supposed to get 1-3" of snow Saturday afternoon.

I have 4 days off. My plan was to buck hunt the first few days and perhaps use a doe tag towards the end.

With the weather coming in, I'm not sure I want to be 75 miles from home. Could snow 3-4", could be a dusting. I'm thinking about shooting the first doe that walks by and get back home before the snow starts.

So:
Stick it out, hunt during an ideal hunting day, and risk a 4-5 hour drive home
Or
Play it safe, get a deer, go home, and there's other days (albeit not as good) ahead

This. I loved the snow, too, back when I hunted. 3-4" is nothing. Just dress warm.

We're back in the 40's and 50's come this month's New Moon. Time to go fishing on the Wapanapay one last time this year. What a strange autumn this has been. So warm up to now, and it's mid-November, the leaves are still turning. I keep wondering if the rut has been thrown off.
