The general idea from some models, that the moisture will just vanish as it approaches the mountains, doesn't seem logical to me. I feel like to some degree, geographical lift would have to prevent this. 

 

You see orographic lift do this to warmer systems a lot. A line of thunderstorms or rain shield vanishes as it hits the mountains. Not sure if it's the same case in winter because of it being a key component for flow snow. Maybe Conductor Met (Congrats!) or others can enlighten us.

You can tell how weak the line is on radar. It is breaking up already. I think this thing will be maybe flurries and a few snow showers before drying up. At least before the upslope snow begins. 

I was thinking the same thing; expect destruction of the line when it hits the mountains.  I hope it can get back together and do something for central NC.
