Narrative:

I was flying as a first officer in an embraer 145. We were executing the ILS approach and the approach was normal and stable. Reported visibility 6;000 RVR and ceilings at 300 feet. I was the pilot flying and my captain was the pilot monitoring. Because the captain was restricted our minimums were 300 feet. The captain called runway in sight continue. I continued the approach to 200 feet where the pilot monitoring stated runway in sight. I quickly scanned and could not visually acquire the runway. I scanned the instruments quickly and back outside to see the runway slightly to my right. I made the correction to align the runway with our flight path and began our final landing phase. We were slightly high so I nosed the aircraft forward to increase descent rate and the aural annunciation alarmed us sink rate. I slowly retarded the thrust levers and pitched for landing; the sink rate was more than usual and we experienced a very firm landing. We did not bounce and the remainder of landing and taxi phases were normal.
