Interesting low near Azores

It's an old extratropical low with the old cold front to the east of the center and some shallow clouds around the center:

I don't think it will develop, water temperatures are around 17 or 18 °C. But who knows...

Since this is an extratropical system, doesn't it feed off cold water?

More off the difference between converging air masses of different temperature and moisture content, no so much the latent heat released via Convection as a tropical system would. Being over the Ocean plays a role though; i.e. there is much greater potential moisture than over land.
