Narrative:

I listened to the ATIS information; then checked in with approach control; and accepted the plan to shoot the RNAV runway xxl approach; with a circle to land runway yyr. At this point the visibility was 1 1/2 miles with a ceiling of approximately 1200 overcast. Approach control vectored the aircraft for the runway xxl approach. The aircraft was in IMC conditions throughout the descent and approach and picking up light to moderate rime ice. Approach handed me off to tower inbound on the runway xxl approach. I checked in with the tower. Tower informed the pilot that the ATIS changed and that the visibility was reduced to 3/4 mile. The pilot requested to continue the approach to straight in runway xxl. The tower cleared us as such. No mention of runway conditions were given by tower. The pilot descended on the approach; and saw the airport lights and runway environment at the MDA. The pilot being in a position to land continued down to the runway. I was using an extra 5kts of speed on approach due to residual ice on the aircraft. I believe that touchdown occurred somewhere in the first 1500 ft of the 3200 ft runway. Upon touchdown I realized the braking action was nil and that the aircraft sliding. I was aware that it had been lightly snowing at the airport; but was not aware the runway had not been plowed or treated in any way; and was not offered any information to that affect. I maintained directional control of the aircraft but ran out of runway surface by about ten feet striking a runway end light. The pilot was able to taxi the aircraft to the ramp without further incident. The aircraft's props were damaged. No other damage was known to the time of this report.
