It's always a good idea to get out and learn the lay of the land. However, it's important to note that deer behavior will be much different now--especially after a big snowstorm--than it would be in that same area during September through November. Feeding and bedding areas will likely change throughout the hunting season, but getting an idea of where the prime cover and other potential food sources are will give you a an advantage when you start scouting next year before the season opens. You'll have a better idea as to where to focus your scouting efforts, but things will look completely different with the understory on the ground as opposed to 12+" of snow. Wear some snowshoes if at all possible, it will make the travel through the snow incredibly easier. Also, a child's plastic sled makes a great deer drag this time of year, and if you don't have any luck hunting you can have some fun on it!
Good luck
