Your answer would be that the verb above is a linking verb.

Explanation:

A linking verb is a type of verb that connects the subject to a predicate adjective or to a predicate nominative. It expresses a state of being; it is not an action verb.

Linking verbs can either serve to help rename or re-identify the subject or else serve to describe the subject. The first ones are used with a predicate nominative, that is, a noun that follows a linking verb that renames the subject (he is my friend). The second ones are used with a predicate adjective, that is, an adjective that follows a linking verb that renames the subject (John seems nice). In this case, the linking verb look has been used with a predicate adjective (the weather looks cold and dreary).
