Some think it could become warm core but that is to be seen.

Nearly the entire lifespan of the cyclone up to its landfall in Turkey.

Re: Polar Low in the Black Sea
Really hard not to say that this wasn't tropical based on appearance! But snow? Maybe looking like a chicken doesn't always = a chicken?

The environment was quite cold around it with temperature at 850 hPa below -10 °C, and the water temperature is also only around/below +10 °C in that region, so I think it was much closer to a polar low than a tropical(-like) cyclone.

Yeah I agree. Satellite imagery showed a weak upper level low/trough diving south over the relatively warm waters of the Black Sea about a day before, which is a common setup for polar lows per Moreno-Ibáñez et al.
