Narrative:
Flight departed bed in snow and fog. Slush and snow on runway and txwys and ramp. Aircraft deiced prior to taxi. Takeoff uneventful. Out of clouds and ice above 17000 ft. ILS approach into ZZZ uneventful. Temperature -2 degrees C. Visually acquired runway 4-5 mi out. Visual approach stable and on speed. Upon touchdown, rapid deceleration was felt without using brakes or reversers. Tower controller noted flames from right wheel. Aircraft came to stop on runway approximately 600 meters after touchdown point. Aircraft evacuate/evacuationed. No fire, but both main tires blown and brakes locked. Water noted dripping from wheel and brake assembly on both sides. Suspect snow and slush froze in brakes causing them to lock. Maintenance replaced main wheels on runway and towed aircraft to hangar. No other apparent damage. Runway closed approximately 1 hour due to disabled aircraft.
