An air carrier MD80 flight crew had the nosewheel depart the prepared surface during the turn off the runway after landing. Ice and snow on the taxiway prevented the aircraft from effectively stopping or steering during the transition from the runway to the taxiway.

Narrative:
ILS runway 28 at syr. Braking action good. Normal touchdown at 1000-1200 ft, braking action good or better. Came to complete stop on runway centerline about 1/2 way down runway. Exited to right at walking speed (less than 5 KTS). During turn, nosewheel steering became ineffective on ice and snow on taxiway. Brakes were applied and right engine shut down, but nosewheel left taxiway on left side and went about 3-6 ft into snow. Aircraft towed back to gate. No damage noted.
