Intruder is quite correct. Breaking out to a icy runway, high and maybe fast, just making the touchdown zone isn't good enough. Break cloud 1200 AGL to a wet runway, probably can make a correction to be "on profile" comfortably. Break out, high and fast at 200' with fog, going around would be a good idea, shouldn't have let it happen. Are you near max landing weight?

This is where experience comes in and should be earned before sitting in a RPT jet transport.
