Landing in BOS in crummy conditions with a tailwind may be OK due to
longer runways. Landing with a 9 knot tailwind
in a blizard with fair to poor braking on a 6,500' runway was obviously
not a good idea.

What did the performance numbers indicate for the conditions the pilot
landed in? What was the final approach speed
calculated to? What distance was required to stop? Don't know the
numbers? You cannot take the stance that this was
obviously not a good idea...

The fact that the airplane ended up past the end of the runway is
sufficient evidence that this landing was not a good idea. How much
more evidence does one need?

I need more evidence than some Monday night wannabe quarterback making a
WAG. Could be a multitude of mechanical, electrical, electronic or other
problems that caused the accident. Time will tell.
