Default Rainy Day Shotgun Opener?

Well Saturday is the shotgun opener here in the Hoosier state and the forecast is not looking good. The high is supposed to be about 40 degrees in the morningand drop throughout the day to 30 degrees. Chance of rain is 70% with westerly winds around 20mph.[:'(]I know this might change by tomorrow night, so I will just wait and see.

My question is should I sit through weather like this in the morning and wait for the weather to break in the afternoon? I know after the rain passes they will be moving around, but are my chances of seeing deer worth being in weather like that. I know you can't see deer if you aren't in the woods. I do have a good waterproof bibs and parka so I can stay fairly warm and dry.

In weather like this what have you guys done in the past? More than likely I willbe outtaking whatever abuse mother nature throws at mebecause I hate to miss an opening morning.
