Extra Tropical Storm System Over North East?

Does anyone know anything about this Extra Tropical Storm Systym over the NE? What is an extratropical storm system? What does this type of storm system do?

An extratropical system is an ordinary low pressure.. noreastors and stuff like that.. cold core lows. I was impressed with that low and it's also that low that will keep 91L heaidng our direction (not saying it will hit here, just saying it will head this way) I even thought a few times by satellite presentations that this may have acquired some subtropical characteristics.

Thanks for that information. That is what it looked like to me on satalite two days ago. I was not sure what this storm systym was but it sure did look amazing. So pretty much it is going to bring alot of cold weather to the NE area and it will have a low front that will push 91L twords the Miami area? It reminded me of the types of things you see in the movies "The perfect storm" and "The day after tomorrow" on satalite.

It's a hard guess on landfall and it can still recurve, only near the Bahamas and it probably will be affecting Florida.. this is one of those long range storms, needs to be watched for now.. i'm not a wishcaster or anything, I just go by climatology, steering, and weather maps. Sometimes I go by the models, though that's not a good idea to do that this year lol.
