Rabbit, there's nothing in any of those images to suggest that anyhting out there was tropical, yet alone subtropical. Everything there was either a convection-less swirl or a midlatitude baroclinic system. None of the other available tools - such as the cyclone phase analysis tool - suggest anything tropical, either.

This is the start to the season we're looking at now; no sense in trying to go back and say that it might've happened earlier, because it really didn't.
