It looks like this is being filmed from another aircraft (big pillar in the middle of the window). Why was this pilot filming, it seems like they’d see planes landing all the time so was there something special about the landing - bad weather perhaps …
Yeah it’s really unheard of in Toronto and unexpected this especially this time of year. Ice and snow. Looks like wind speed was about 30 to 40 miles per hour. Seems like they would know better than to attempt to land outside the parameters of the aircraft.
No one said you used the video to estimate, I just assumed that no one would be stupid enough to think that a weather website can tell you the windspeed of that particular gust at that particular location.
The pilot was experiencing the weather because he was physically there in person, not watching a video.
I’m genuinely curious to know why do you think the pilot was filming?

I think you’re probably right.
Tricky landing in shitty weather. Just filming to share in group chat as in “look at this shitty weather we have to take off in”. Something like that.
Shitty weather? Are we watching the same video?
Yes? Do you not see the ground covered in ice and snow and the strong winds kicking it up? Not exactly GOOD weather to be taking off and landing in

I genuinely don’t know if you’re trying to be sarcastic.
The linked article mentions the wind.
You can’t estimate wind speed from this video.
None of the passengers mentioned mechanical problems.
It’s reasonable to conclude that the guy was filming the landing because the weather was particularly inclement.

In conclusion:
Bad weather for planes
Average (good?) weather for Toronto as this time of year
Some pilots just really love planes
Dude was coming in way too fast and way too high.
