Narrative:
We were landing in ord (captain's leg) after a very long day. We sat on the ground in phl waiting for ord to open after the heavy snow storm passed. We waited for 3 hours on the ground in phl. When we were finally allowed to go, our flight en route was uneventful. Ord approach gave us the short runway 9L for our arrival. The wind was howling and we calculated a slight tailwind. I think the visibility was 1 1/2 blowing snow. The captain did a great job and landed in the landing zone on the apparent centerline. Like normal (ord only) they weren't my number 1 priority. The captain stopped the airplane just prior to the runway 32R intersection. Tower called and told us to exit at taxiway H2. We were trying to get the aircraft stopped in the confines of the runway and answer tower. Tower came back and told us not to use the runway exit, to use taxiway H2. He was frantic and during the rollout he cleared an aircraft to take off on runway 32R. I believe it was a B777. We were exercising caution to stop the airplane before the end of the runway knowing the painted areas were really going to be slippery. The B777 replied, 'there is an airplane entering the runway (us) and they were going to wait.'

Title: THE ATCT LCL CTLR ISSUED TURNOFF INSTRUCTIONS ON LNDG ROLL, WITH A SNOW COVERED RWY AT ORD. MD83 FLT CREW UNABLE TO COMPLY. A B777 CANCELED TKOF CLRNC ON XING RWY.
Narrative: WE WERE LNDG IN ORD (CAPT'S LEG) AFTER A VERY LONG DAY. WE SAT ON THE GND IN PHL WAITING FOR ORD TO OPEN AFTER THE HVY SNOW STORM PASSED. WE WAITED FOR 3 HRS ON THE GND IN PHL. WHEN WE WERE FINALLY ALLOWED TO GO, OUR FLT ENRTE WAS UNEVENTFUL. ORD APCH GAVE US THE SHORT RWY 9L FOR OUR ARR. THE WIND WAS HOWLING AND WE CALCULATED A SLIGHT TAILWIND. I THINK THE VISIBILITY WAS 1 1/2 BLOWING SNOW. THE CAPT DID A GREAT JOB AND LANDED IN THE LNDG ZONE ON THE APPARENT CTRLINE. LIKE NORMAL (ORD ONLY) THEY WEREN'T MY NUMBER 1 PRIORITY. THE CAPT STOPPED THE AIRPLANE JUST PRIOR TO THE RWY 32R INTXN. TWR CALLED AND TOLD US TO EXIT AT TXWY H2. WE WERE TRYING TO GET THE ACFT STOPPED IN THE CONFINES OF THE RWY AND ANSWER TWR. TWR CAME BACK AND TOLD US NOT TO USE THE RWY EXIT, TO USE TXWY H2. HE WAS FRANTIC AND DURING THE ROLLOUT HE CLRED AN ACFT TO TAKE OFF ON RWY 32R. I BELIEVE IT WAS A B777. WE WERE EXERCISING CAUTION TO STOP THE AIRPLANE BEFORE THE END OF THE RWY KNOWING THE PAINTED AREAS WERE REALLY GOING TO BE SLIPPERY. THE B777 REPLIED, 'THERE IS AN AIRPLANE ENTERING THE RWY (US) AND THEY WERE GOING TO WAIT.'
