The episode as NWS GRB wrote it up.
A vigorous upper level storm system moved across northern Wisconsin and produced locally heavy snow across Vilas County. The snow was enhanced by lake effect as cold air poured across Lake Superior. Twelve-hour snowfall totals were in the 6 to 9 inch range.
North winds were 20 to 30 mph across the region, with gusts in excess of 50 mph in Door County. Several trees were downed by the strong winds across northeast Wisconsin, causing sporadic power outages.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREEN BAY WI 653 PM CDT THU OCT 30 2014 UPDATED AVIATION PORTION FOR 00Z TAF ISSUANCE .SHORT TERM...TONIGHT AND FRIDAY ISSUED AT 401 PM CDT THU OCT 30 2014 THERE ARE PLENTY OF ISSUES DURING THIS PART OF THE FORECAST. THINGS WERE RELATIVELY QUIET DURING THE DAY AS AN UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE FROM THE NORTHERN PLAINS WAS MAKING ITS WAY ACROSS THE STATE...WITH JUST SCATTERED LIGHT SHOWERS OR SPRINKLES. AN INTENSE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH IN WESTERN ONTARIO IS EXPECTED TO PUSH SOUTH ACROSS WISCONSIN TONIGHT AS A RIDGE AMPLIFIES OVER THE WESTERN CONUS AND MOVES TO THE PLAINS. PRECIPITATION SHOULD BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD AS THE TROUGH MOVES THROUGH THE STATE...AND CHANGE TO SNOW AS COLDER AIR ENTERS THE REGION ON STRONG NORTHERLY WINDS. THE COLD AIR PASSING OVER THE WARMER WATERS OF LAKE SUPERIOR WILL KEEP SNOW SHOWERS GOING ACROSS THE LAKE SUPERIOR SNOWBELT REGION OVERNIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING WHEN INVERSION HEIGHTS START TO LOWER AND LAKE SURFACE TO 850MB DELTA-T VALUES DECREASE. EXPECT 2 TO A LITTLE MORE THAN 4 INCHES OF ACCUMULATION IN VILAS COUNTY FOR THIS EVENT. STRONG 925MB AND 850MB WINDS WITH LITTLE DIRECTIONAL SHEAR WILL MAKE CONDITIONS FAVORABLE FOR STRONG WINDS ACROSS EASTERN WISCONSIN...WHERE THE 12Z ECMWF HAD 925MB WINDS OF 50 KNOTS AT 12Z FRIDAY. HAVE GONE WITH A WIND ADVISORY FOR BROWN...KEWAUNEE...CALUMET AND MANITOWOC COUNTIES FROM 12Z THROUGH 23Z FRIDAY. KEPT THE WIND ADVISORY FOR DOOR COUNTY...WHERE START TIME IS 05Z DUE TO FAVORABLE FETCH OVER THE BAY...AND EXTENDED IT FOR ANOTHER 2 HOURS TO 23Z FRIDAY TO MATCH THE REST OF THE WIND ADVISORY AREA. OTHERWISE...TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE MUCH COLDER WITH HIGHS ONLY IN THE 30S ON FRIDAY. THE STRONG WINDS AND COLD TEMPERATURES WILL COMBINE TO PRODUCE WIND CHILLS IN THE TEENS AND 20S. .LONG TERM...FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY ISSUED AT 401 PM CDT THU OCT 30 2014 A HIGHLY-AMPLIFIED MEAN FLOW THIS WEEKEND WITH UPR TROFS ALONG BOTH COASTS AND AN UPR RDG OVER CNTRL NOAM...WL GRADUALLY DE- AMPLIFY TO A CERTAIN DEGREE NEXT WEEK AS THE WRN CONUS UPR TROF MOVES TO THE EAST EARLY NEXT WEEK. IT IS THIS UPR TROF (AND ITS ASSOCIATED CDFNT) THAT WL BRING THE NEXT BEST CHC OF PCPN TO NE WI DURING THE MON AFTERNOON THRU TUE MORNING TIME FRAME. DUE TO THE PROGRESSIVE NATURE OF THE MEAN FLOW...THE MDLS NOW SEND A CLIPPER- TYPE SYSTEM TOWARD WI LATE WED OR WED NGT. TYPICAL AUTUMN SWINGS IN TEMPS EXPECTED WITH READINGS GOING FROM BELOW NORMAL THIS WEEKEND...TO ABOVE NORMAL EARLY NEXT WEEK...TO THEN SETTLING CLOSE TO NORMAL BY THE END OF THE PERIOD. A BROAD AREA OF HI PRES TO EXTEND FROM THE SRN PLAINS THRU THE WRN GREAT LAKES TO ERN ONTARIO FRI NGT...BRINGING THE COLDEST TEMPS OF THE YOUNG WINTER SEASON TO THE REGION. MAINLY CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO SEND MIN TEMPS INTO THE MID TEENS OVER VILAS CNTY (WHERE LINGERING SNOW COVER TO EXIST)...TO THE UPR 20S NEAR LAKE MI. THE SFC HI TO MOVE ACROSS ERN WI TOWARD MIDDAY SAT AND RESIDE JUST TO OUR EAST BY 00Z SUNDAY. WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY VEER THRU THE DAY WITH S-SE WINDS ACROSS CNTRL WI BY DAY'S END AND A NE WIND FOR ERN WI. WHILE SUNNY SKIES WL PREVAIL OVER MOST OF THE FCST AREA...THESE NE WINDS MAY BRING SOME LAKE CLOUDS TO ERN WI. MAX TEMPS WL ONLY REACH THE UPR 30S TO LWR 40S. A MORE PRONOUNCED RETURN FLOW DEVELOPS OVER WI SAT NGT AS THE SFC HI HEADS TOWARD THE ERN GREAT LAKES. EVEN WITH MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES... A 20-30KT SW BOUNDARY LAYER WIND COMBINED WITH THE ONSET OF WAA... WL PREVENT TEMPS FROM FALLING TOO FAR. THE MOST NOTICEABLE TEMP RISE TO BE OVER CNTRL WI WHERE READINGS WL BE 5 TO 10 DEGS MILDER COMPARED TO FRI NGT. LOOK FOR MIN TEMPS TO MAINLY BE IN THE LWR TO MID 20S...EXCEPT AROUND 30 DEGS NEAR LAKE MI. TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEKEND...THE WRN CONUS UPR TROF IS PROGGED TO SHIFT EWD INTO THE ROCKIES AND HELP DISPLACE THE CNTRL NOAM UPR RDG INTO THE E-CNTRL CONUS. PERSISTENT S-SW WINDS WL CONT TO SEND MILDER AIR INTO WI AS 8H TEMPS WARM TO AROUND +7C BY 00Z MON. THE CONTINUATION OF WAA WL ALSO START TO TAP GULF MOISTURE...THUS AN INCREASE IN MID/HI CLOUDS ARE EXPECTED ON SUNDAY. MAX TEMPS SHOULD BE ABOUT 5 DEGS WARMER THAN SAT...PLACING READINGS IN THE LWR TO MID 40S. AFTER A BRIEF BREAK IN THE CLOUDS SUNDAY NGT AS THE STRONGEST WAA LIFTS NEWD...LOOK FOR CLOUDS TO INCREASE ONCE AGAIN MON MORNING AS GULF MOISTURE STREAMS NORTH AHEAD OF A CDFNT. MDLS CONT TO INDICATE THAT THE CDFNT WL APPROACH WRN WI MONO AFTERNOON WITH THE LEADING EDGE OF RAIN SHWRS REACHING AT LEAST THE SW THREE-QUARTERS OF THE STATE BY 00Z TUE. PREVIOUS SHIFTS HAVE ALREADY HAD THIS RAIN CHC COVERED AND SEE NO REASON TO CHANGE ANYTHING RIGHT NOW. MAX TEMPS FOR MON WL RANGE FROM THE UPR 40S TO LWR 50S. PCPN CHCS WL CONT THRU MOST OF MON NGT AS THE CDFNT SWEEPS ACROSS THE REST OF THE STATE. THE FCST IS A BIT MORE DIFFICULT FOR TUE DEPENDING ON WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE TRAILING AND WEAKENING UPR TROF. ONLY THE GEM MAINTAINS PCPN ON TUE AND THAT IS MORE DUE TO A SLOWER MOVEMENT OF THE CDFNT THAN THE UPR TROF. SINCE THE GEM IS ALONE IN THIS SCENARIO...HAVE BASED THE FCST ON THE MAJORITY SOLUTION WHICH SENDS A DRY SLOT ACROSS WI ON TUE WITH SOME WRAP-AROUND CLOUDS AFFECTING NRN WI. MAX TEMPS LOOK SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL WITH READINGS IN THE LWR TO MID 40S N-CNTRL WI TO AROUND 50 DEGS E-CNTRL WI. ATTENTION THEN FOCUSES ON A CLIPPER SYSTEM WHICH MOVES E-SE INTO THE UPR MS VALLEY WED AFTERNOON. THERE APPEARS TO BE ENUF MOISTURE WITH THIS SYSTEM TO AT LEAST BRING A SMALL POP TO NE WI WITH TEMPS WARM ENUF TO ALLOW ANY PCPN TO FALL AS ALL RAIN. WEAK SFC RIDGING IS THEN FCST TO MOVE ACROSS THE REGION ON THU BRINGING DRY CONDITIONS AND SEASONAL TEMPS FOR EARLY NOVEMBER. && .AVIATION...FOR 00Z TAF ISSUANCE ISSUED AT 637 PM CDT THU OCT 30 2014 VFR CONDITIONS WERE STILL IN PLACE OVER MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA EARLY THIS EVG...THROUGH MVFR CIGS OVER NC WI WERE STARTING TO PUSH SOUTHEAST...AS NORTHWEST WINDS INCREASED BEHIND A COLD FRONT. A POWERFUL UPPER LEVEL TROF WILL SHIFT ACROSS THE REGION TONIGHT AS COLDER AIR SURGES INTO THE FORECAST AREA AT THE SURFACE. THE TRACK OF THIS SYSTEM FAVORS PCPN OVER NORTHERN AND EASTERN WI... WITH JUST A GLANCING BLOW FOR THE AUW/CWA TAF SITES. ALTHOUGH SOME LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE AHEAD OF THE MAIN SYSTEM THIS EVENING...TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE COLD ENOUGH FOR SNOW SHOWERS WHEN THE MOST SIGNIFICANT PCPN ARRIVES. SNOW SHOWERS ARE MOST LIKELY AT THE RHI TAF SITE IN THE 02Z-06Z/FRI TIME PERIOD...AND AT THE GRB/ATW/MTW TAF SITE BETWEEN 07Z-12Z/FRI. BRIEF IFR/LIFR VSBYS SHOULD ACCOMPANY THE HEAVIER SNOW SHOWERS. THE BEST CHANCE OF HEAVY SNOW SHOWERS WILL BE OVER VILAS COUNTY...WHERE SOME LAKE ENHANCEMENT OFF LAKE SUPERIOR WILL OCCUR. THIS SYSTEM WILL ALSO GENERATE VERY STRONG NORTH WINDS LATE TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY...ESPECIALLY OVER EASTERN WI. WIND GUSTS TO 35 TO 50 MPH ARE EXPECTED IN THE EASTERN FOX VALLEY AND LAKESHORE AREAS...WITH LOCALLY HIGHER GUSTS POSSIBLE OVER NORTHERN DOOR COUNTY. THE WINDS WILL GRADUALLY SUBSIDE AND SKIES CLEAR LATE IN THE DAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO WESTERN WI. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
