Sorry - forgot to add some details. This landing was sunday night in NYC in the middle of the nor'easter that cancelled several hundred flights. What I thought was weird about the landing was that it felt as though we came in really slow, and then we came in at a pretty steep angle and hit the runway hard. I guess it was just the winds from the storm, but it was definitely a tough landing and was not fun. Also, when we landed the airport was almost dead, and I didnt hear any other flights land or take off while we were outside waiting for the taxis. I guess I'm spoiled by LAX where we don't have nor'easters.
