Narrative:

After landing on runway 23 at buf, we turned off onto taxiway F. At approximately halfway between the runway and taxiway a, due to a combination of unrpted ice on the taxiway, with resulting braking and traction action of nil and winds reported at 260 degrees, 34 KTS, gusting to 48 KTS, we weathervaned toward the wind and stopped on the right side of the taxiway with the nosewheels approximately 2 ft on the frozen tundra. We requested a tow out and in to the gate. Subsequent inspection revealed no damage. Our appended flight plan information had taxiway mostly patchy thin slush, patchy bare spots as taxiway conditions. Buf had no ATIS advisories and no tower advisories on taxiway or ramp conditions. In operations airport fire fighters told us they lost control of their truck while responding to an earlier emergency. They attributed it to icy ramp conditions and high winds. Timely and accurate tower advisories would certainly be of help.
