Narrative:
On approach conditions were favorable for windshear and were flying about reference plus 5 to 10 KTS; and had briefed for windshear. Turbulence was light and little crab was necessary to maintain alignment. At about 100 AGL hit a little bit of chop but speed did not go below reference. Entered ground effect and with engines spooling down and was expecting to hear the 50; 40; 30; 20; 10; call; but instead got a windshear warning. [We were] considering energy state of aircraft and proximity to runway; and in a good position to land normally. Judgment was made to continue to land. I felt that it was safer to land than to go around at this point of the landing. If same events were to happen maybe 10 to 15 seconds prior I would have executed the windshear escape maneuver.
