This just happened a few days ago, and it makes for an interesting few seconds.

Great short field performance. Skidding sideways in snow is better than reverse.

It's better to break ground and head into the wind than to break wind and head into the ground.

What difference does it make if the runway is icy if you don't land on it anyway?

It looked like a lousy landing from the start, He didn't even align it with the runway !! I would have gone around.

Okay I just watched it again. There is no transition or flare at all. He glided like a greased anvil right onto the ice surface. There doesn't appear to be any control inputs at all.

He landed with the right main in the snowbank... didn't matter if he flared or not the outcome would have been the same.
