Narrative:

On feb/xa/01, captain and I were flying flight into azo a little after XA00. I was the PF until the landing phase. Outside the IAF, received the ATIS and did not state anything about plowing in effect, when he read me the ATIS. Visibility was about 2 mi with light snow. We set up for the localizer back course runway 17. At the FAF, captain made the traffic report on CTAF, that we were upjon intersection inbound, anyone please advise, and no one responded. I flew the approach down to the MDA, then captain took the plane over for the landing because the braking action was reported as poor. While landing and in the rollout phase, the captain and I noticed some dim flashing lights way down at the far end of the runway and off to the l-hand side. We both thought that maybe it was just some construction signs off to the side of the runway at the far end. We both did not feel threatened or in any danger at any time, so we continued the rollout. Upon rollout while approaching our turnoff, we both realized that it was a plow that was on the side of the runway at the far end. There was nothing on the ATIS of plowing and ZAU was not informed of snow plowing in effect.
