Narrative:

ZZZ weather was reported light snow. Runway xx was in use due to winds. On approach; I requested updated braking action reports and tower reported fair with taxiways reported as slippery by aircraft that landed in front of us.we selected med autobrakes and the aircraft slowed with no problems. We were not able to make [our target] taxiway and continued to taxi to the end of the runway for turnoff. Tower cleared us to turn left on [a taxiway]; left on [another] and to contact ground and advise when clear.upon turning onto [the taxiway] the aircraft started to skid to the right. The captain was able to steer the aircraft back toward centerline but then the aircraft started to skid to the left. The captain did everything to try and regain control; but was unable. We both tried braking with no response. The aircraft came to a stop on the left side of the taxiway. It appeared we may have been over the taxi lights although we could not confirm that due to the snow cover.we made no attempts to move the aircraft at this point. I reported our position and intentions to the tower and then contacted company maintenance for a tow. Maintenance and the ZZZ airport authority worked to tow us to the ramp. They determined we were still on the taxiway and had not hit any taxi lights. One taxiway light was removed by the airport authority during the tow process.no aircraft damage was suspected or found that I am aware of. The cvr circuit breaker was pulled per maintenance control. We remained with the aircraft until it was towed to the gate and we were released. The airport was reporting runway braking action but it would have helped to have taxiway reports that used a recognized scale of braking action.

Title: While attempting to turn off the end of the slippery runway in a strong crosswind the flight crew of an A300 was unable to stop the aircraft nose from sliding to the left. The crew believed they had left the hard surface and called for a tow.
