Narrative:

Prior to departing; crew was briefed by flight following on destination runway conditions. Flight following passed along a report from airport state maintenance that bow mu readings for runway 19R were 65/67/65. There was a runway condition NOTAM: !ZZZ 11/341 ZZZ runway 1L/19R ficon patchy thin slush deiced liquid 100FT wide remainder ice observed. Descending into the airport; crew received information november: wind 150@25g34 vis 5SM -sn/br FEW007 OVC012 1/1 A2909. We were cleared for approach ILS 19R from center; then handed off to tower. We requested latest runway conditions from tower and were told a B-737 reported braking action 'good' less than 1 hour ago. We continued the approach stabilized and landed on the centerline within the touchdown zone. When brakes were applied; braking action was found to be less than reported. Once reaching a slower speed; the aircraft weathervaned to the left; continuing down the centerline. Coming to a stop; the airplane slid forward under no sideload force towards the edge of the runway. Assessing the situation; the crew determined there was no damage to the aircraft and that we could safely taxi back to the center of the runway; made a 180 degree turn for a back taxi; and exited the runway. The crew reported braking action 'poor' to tower and requested that taxi route on taxiways and ramp be inspected by state maintenance crew. We determined we could safely taxi to our parking on the ramp. We reported to tower that we had come close to the edge of the runway and they should send someone to inspect it. Tower relayed to us that state personnel inspected and found everything to be fine. State personnel also reported that when checking braking action on the runway; 'poor' was actually giving credit to current conditions. After exiting the aircraft; the crew inspected the tires; landing gear; engines; and found no scuffing; markings; or irregularities. Everything appeared to be normal. Giving more accurate and updated braking reports.

Title: A DC-9 landed on a snowy runway previously reported with 'GOOD' braking by an air carrier crew but discovered 'POOR' braking. The aircraft skidded with no side load toward the runway edge and was taxied to the gate with no apparent damage.
