The episode as NWS MQT wrote it up.
A low pressure system organizing over the Northern Central Plains on the 10th deepened as it lifted east across northern Lower Michigan on the 11th. The strong storm system brought periods of heavy snow to all but the far south central U.P. from the 10th into the 12th. Additional lake effect snow accumulations occurred late on the 12th into the 14th as much colder air poured into the Upper Great Lakes on the heels of strong north to northwest winds in the wake of the storm. Storm total snow accumulation exceeded 40 inches over portions of western Marquette and western Alger counties. Wind gusts as high as 45 mph also caused considerable blowing of snow near Lake Superior on the 11th.
The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Marquette, MI wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Nov 10, 11:26 AM CST, 34 minutes earlier.

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 509 AM EST MON NOV 10 2014
WV IMAGERY AND RUC ANALYSIS INDICATED A DEEP MID/UPPER LEVEL LOW
NEAR JAMES BAY WITH WRLY FLOW THROUGH THE NORTH CENTRAL CONUS. A
VIGOROUS SHORTWAVE TROUGH INTO ID/WY. IR LOOP INDICATED COLDER CLOUD
TOPS EXPANDING FROM SD INTO MN IN AREA OF STRONG UPPER LEVEL DIV
ASSOCIATED WITH THE RIGHT ENTRANCE OF THE 130 KNOT 300 MB JET FROM
NRN MN EASTWARD INTO NRN ONTARIO. MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW OVER NRN
SPREADING INTO WRN MN WAS SUPPORTED BY STRONG IENTROPIC LIFT AND
800-600 MB FGEN. AT THE SFC...LOW PRES EXTENDED FROM SE WY INTO WRN
NEBRASKA WITH A FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO THE EAST THROUGH SRN IA INTO NRN
IL. WITH WEAK HIGH PRES AND LIGHT WINDS ACROSS LAKE SUPERIOR...THE
LINGERING LES HAD DISSIPATED.
TODAY...THE MODELS HAVE TRENDED SLIGHTLY FASTER IN BRINGING SNOW
INTO UPPER MI WITH LIGHT SNOW BEGINING OVER THE SW BY AROUND 15Z AND
OVER MUCH OF THE REST OF THE CWA BY 18Z. GIVEN THE VERY VIGOROUS
DYNAMICS ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER LEVEL JET...800-600 MB FGEN AND
290K-300K ISENTROPIC LIFT THE SNOW WILL QUICKLY BECOME HEAVY DURING
THE AFTERNOON. QPF AMOUNTS HAVE ALSO TRENDED HIGHER THROUGH 00Z/TUE
WITH AMOUNTS INTO THE 0.4-0.6 INCH RANGE. WITH SLR VALUES IN THE
12/1-15/1 RANGE EXPECTED SNOWFALL AMOUNTS MAY ALREADY APPROACH OR
EXCEED 5 TO 7 INCHES BY THIS EVENING...ESPECIALLY OVER THE SW.
TONIGHT...AFTER THE INITIAL WAA/FGEN SURGE OF SNOW INTO THE EARLY
EVENING...THE SNOW MAY TAPER OFF BY LATE EVENING...ESPECIALLY OVER
THE SE HALF OF THE CWA. WITH CONTINUED ONSHORE FLOW NEAR LAKE FROM
ESC SOUTHWARD...THE SNOW MAY MIX WITH RAIN OR DRIZZLE. THE NAM AND
REGIONAL SUGGEST THAT THERE MAY BE ENOUGH 850-700 MB WARMING WITH
TEMPS TO NEAR 1C FOR SLEET TO DEVELOP OVER THE S AND ERN PORTIONS OF
THE CWA. SINCE THE NAM REMAINED ON THE NRN EDGE OF MODELS
ENVELOP...EXPECT ANY SLEET TO BE MARGINAL COMPARED TO THE SNOW.
ADDITIONAL SNOWFALL AMOUNTS IN THE 2 TO 4 INCH RANGE ARE EXPECTED
WITH LESSER AMOUNTS NEAR THE LAKE MICHIGAN SHORE.
OVER THE NW HALF...MODERATE TO STRONG FGEN WITH MODERATE TO HEAVY
SNOW SHOULD CONTINUE. IN PARTICULAR...THE INCREASING NE LOW LEVEL
FLOW SHOULD HELP BOOST SNOW RATES WHERE UPSLOPE IS STRONGEST.
ADDITIONAL SNOWFALL AMOUNS OF 4 TO 7 INCHES ARE EXPECTED BUT WITH
GREATER AMOUNTS TO AROUND 10 INCHES POSSIBLE OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN
OF N CNTRL UPPER MI. THE INCREASING NE WINDS WITH GUSTS TO 30 MPH
WILL ALSO PRODUCE CONSIDERABLE BLOWING/DRIFTING SNOW.
.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 343 AM EST MON NOV 10 2014
...FOCUS LARGELY TUE AND TUE NIGHT WITH THE STORM SYSTEM THAT WILL
MOVE IN TODAY..
MODELS CONTINUE TO FLUCTUATE SLIGHTLY WITH THE TRACK/SPEED/INTENSITY
OF THE STORM SYSTEM AS IT MOVES SE OF THE REGION. GENERAL MODEL
TRENDS ARE FOR A DEEPER LOW THAT MOVES FARTHER NW. LEANING TOWARD
THE WELL AGREED ON TIMING OF THE THE 00Z/10 GFS AND 00Z/10 REGIONAL
GEM WITH THE SFC LOW...BUT THINK THE TRACK IS TOO FAR TO THE NW /A
COMMON BIAS IN THE NAM/...BUT ALSO THINK THAT THE GFS AND ECMWF AS
TOO FAR SE WITH THE TRACK. NAM AND GEM MODELS SHOW THE 1000MB SFC
LOW OVER NCENTRAL LAKE MICHIGAN AT 12Z TUE...MOVING TO NRN LAKE
MI/FAR NWRN LOWER MI AT 998MB AT 18Z...JUST E OF UPPER MI AT 998MB
AT 00Z WED...THEN QUICKLY MOVING TO THE NE TUE NIGHT. GIVEN THE
DISAGREEMENT AND MANY ASPECTS THAT WILL PLAY INTO SFC
CYCLOGENESIS...TRACK IS STILL UNCERTAIN. THE 00Z/10 GFS IS ABOUT 6
HOURS FASTER THAN THE PREVIOUS RUN...BUT WILL NOT BE ADOPTING THAT
SHIFT GIVEN THAT IT IS NOW THE FASTEST GUIDANCE. THE 12Z/09 IS ON
THE SLOWEST END OF GUIDANCE WHILE THE NAM/GEM ARE BETWEEN THE ECMWF
AND GFS. WILL FAVOR A BROAD BLEND OF ECMWF/GFS/NAM/GEM. OF
COURSE...THAT IS JUST THE SFC FEATURES. ALOFT...A SHORTWAVE LOOKS TO
BE JUST SW OF THE CWA AT 12Z TUE AS IT ROTATES AROUND A DEEP UPPER
LOW CENTERED OVER ND OR MT. THE SHORTWAVE MOVES ACROSS THE AREA
MAINLY TUE MORNING...BUT THE UPPER LOW WILL SHIFT E TOWARD AND INTO
THE CWA TUE INTO TUE NIGHT. HOWEVER...THERE ARE QUITE A FEW
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MODELS ON THE DETAILS OF THE SPEED AND MAGNITUDE
OF THAT SHIFT. AS THE LOW SHIFTS E...HEIGHT FALLS WILL CONTINUE TO
SUPPORT WIDESPREAD PRECIP BEHIND THE SHORTWAVE AND AS THE SFC LOW
SHIFTS QUICKLY NE.
DISCREPANCIES IN THE TRACK OF THE LOW WILL IMPACT MORE THAN JUST THE
OBVIOUS AXIS OF GREATER QPF...BUT ALSO PRECIP TYPE AND LAKE
ENHANCEMENT AS LOW LEVEL TEMP PROFILES WILL BE DEPENDENT ON THE LOW
TRACK. THE MORE PREFERRED TRACK OF THE 12Z GFS AND ECMWF BRINGS AN
ABOVE FREEZING WARM NOSE AT AROUND 850MB TO NEAR MENOMINEE...SO
MIXED PRECIP MAY BE AN ISSUE FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME THERE. OF
COURSE...DUE TO TRACK DISCREPENCIES...THERE IS UNCERTAINTY WITH
EXACTLY WHERE MIXED PRECIP WILL OCCUR. IF THE NAM/GEM TRACK
VERIFIED...MUCH MORE OF SERN/ERN UPPER MI WILL SEE MIXED PRECIP
EARLY TUE.
WITH 850MB TEMPS RANGING FROM -6C FAR E TO -12C W AND ENE LOW LEVEL
FLOW /PER FAVORED GUIDANCE/ AT 12Z...COOLING TO -10C E TO -15C W
WITH MORE NLY WINDS BY 00Z WED...LAKE EFFECT/ENHANCEMENT WILL BE
ASSURED. BEST AREAS FOR LAKE ENHANCEMENT ON TUE WILL BE OVER THE
HIGHER TERRAIN OF THE NCENTRAL U.P. AND NEAR IRONWOOD AND THE
PORCUPINE MOUNTAINS AS CYCLONIC FLOW BACKS FAR ENOUGH N TO IMPACT
THESE WRN AREAS. OF COURSE...LAKE ENHANCED AREAS WILL SEE
SIGNIFICANTLY GREATER QPF THAN IS REPRESENTED BY LARGE SCALE GFS AND
ECMWF MODELS.
AS THE SFC LOW MOVES QUICKLY AWAY FROM THE CWA AND THE UPPER LOW
MOVES ACROSS THE AREA TUE NIGHT...EXPECT WIDESPREAD SNOW SHOWERS TO
CONTINUE NEAR LAKE SUPERIOR. LOW LEVEL WINDS WILL GENERALLY BE FROM
THE NNW-NW WITH 850MB TEMPS AS COLD AS -15C...AND LAKE INDUCED EQL
VALUES WILL INCREASE TO OVER 10KFT BY WED MORNING.
HAVE QPF AMOUNTS FOR TUE AND TUE NIGHT RANGING FROM 0.25
INCHES AT MENOMINEE TO 1.15 INCHES OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF THE
HURON MOUNTAINS. HIGHER TERRAIN FROM IRONWOOD TO COPPER HARBOR ARE
FORECAST TO SEE BETWEEN 0.70 AND 0.90 INCHES OF QPF...WITH AROUND AN
INCH NEAR LAKE SUPERIOR E OF MARQUETTE. SNOW TO LIQUID RATIOS ON TUE
WILL BE HIGHEST OVER WRN UPPER MI AT AROUND 15 TO 1. NCENTRAL UPPER
MI SHOULD SEE 12-13 TO 1 RATIOS...WITH LESSER AMOUNTS CLOSER TO LAKE
MICHIGAN WHERE THE WARMER AIR WILL BE. SNOWFALL AMOUNTS ARE THEN
FORECAST TO BE IN THE 12-15 INCH RANGE OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN FROM
IRONWOOD TO COPPER HARBOR...13-18 INCHES OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF
NCENTRAL UPPER MI...AROUND A FOOT ELSEWHERE NEAR LAKE SUPERIOR...AND
ONLY AROUND 2 INCHES AT MENOMINEE DUE TO THE WARMER CONDITIONS AND
AT LEAST SOME MIX WITH RAIN EXPECTED.
WINDS WILL ALSO BE A BIT OF AN ISSUE ON TUE AS N-NE WINDS WILL GUST
TO AROUND 40 MPH NEAR LAKE SUPERIOR. THIS WILL LEAD TO SOME BLOWING
SNOW IN AREAS CLOSER TO THE GREAT LAKES SHORES.
NW WIND LES WILL CONTINUE WED THROUGH THU...WITH POTENTIAL FOR
ADDITIONAL MID LEVEL ENERGY TO MOVE THROUGH ON THU...PROVIDING AN
ADDITIONAL BOOST TO LES. WHILE SNOWFALL AMOUNTS WILL NEED PLENTY OF
REFINING...HAVE SNOWFALL OF 6-12 INCHES IN THE FAVORED NW FLOW AREAS
FOR WED THROUGH WED NIGHT. AM NO CONFIDENT ENOUGH IN PRECIP AMOUNTS
FOR THU /DUE TO LACK OF HIGHER RES MODEL GUIDANCE AT THAT TIME/ TO
GET TOO SPECIFIC WITH SNOWFALL AMOUNTS...BUT AT LEAST A FEW MORE
INCHES OF SNOW IS POSSIBLE.
SEE NO END OVER THE NEXT 7 DAYS TO THE COLDER TEMPS AS 850MB TEMPS
SHOULD STAY BELOW -10C THROUGH THE REST OF THE EXTENDED. THIS WILL
FAVOR LES WHEN MOISTURE AND WHERE WIND DIRECTIONS ALLOW. LOOKS LIKE
LES WILL TAPER OFF THU NIGHT INTO SAT AS A SFC RIDGE MOVES IN. LES
THEN MAY RAMP UP AGAIN SUN INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK AS A SYSTEM MOVES
INTO THE REGION.
