Do you think that this possibly could have properly been classified as a subtropical storm? Is this mainly a baroclinic low but with some tropical characteristics?

I do not think this is subtropical. It is fully attached to a front and I see no evidence of a warm core, just warm air on eastern side south of a warm front. Also if you watch water vapor loop it is within a broader upper level system centered over WNC. These nor Easter’s can be quite strong and prolonged, as evidenced by winds gusting above 50 on the OBX for the third straight day. The folks jumping on naming this haven’t seen a proper nor Easter in a while! These are fun systems to watch

Toeing the wedge but the phase diagrams seem to agree

What a beautiful day today. Low of 64, high of 70. Dew points in the low 60's and cloud cover made it feel so nice.
