Narrative:
While descending into msp; we were given vectors for the ILS Z 30R. We were told to intercept the localizer and track it inbound. Once we were on the localizer we were given a descent. During the descent we were cleared for the ILS Z 30R. We were also told to slow and maintain 180 kts until the marker. For us to slow down in a timely manner; the PF used the flight spoilers. We intercepted the glide slope and descended on the approach. The clouds were (if I remember right) about 2300 broken. While we descended through this layer we picked up moderate rime ice. Upon coming out of the clouds; my captain stated that the plane has a really high pitch attitude. I agreed with his statement. He stated the same observation again and I started to look for causes. It was fairly dark in the cockpit; so I was reading through the messages on the EICAS. That is when I noticed that the flight spoilers were still deployed. I immediately told the PF that his spoilers were deployed and he stowed them. I believe this was remedied around 800 ft AGL.I would add flight spoilers to the landing checklist. This would ensure that flight spoilers are stowed before the 1000 ft stable approach requirement.
