Narrative:

Normal landing configuration; winds were a factor in that they were gusty up to 20 kts with perhaps a 20 [degree] crosswind component. I carried 10 knots over normal vref and used approach flaps until 500 feet then selected full flaps and confirmed three green indication on my landing gear indicator. Crosswind controls were input and landing was otherwise normal with initial contact on the mains and I held the nose off to reduce flying airspeed; throttles were selected to idle just before touchdown.as the nose gear was lowered to the runway it collapsed and both props ground to a stop. I immediately closed both fuel levers and selected mags to off position. No fire ensued. I reported the event immediately to FSS so as to close the runway and get a NOTAM out.
