Narrative:

After passenger were boarded; we pushed back for deicing; engines not running. After deicing; we taxied to runway 7R. I left the APU on for a potential contaminated runway takeoff. We were #2 or #3 for takeoff. To the best of my recollection; all checklists were completed. Prior to takeoff; we completed the 15 second engine run-up. It was snowing and runway was fair but it looked like it was poor or worse to me. The mu on paperwork was 40/32/38; the later mu reading was reporting 28/32/30. As we turned onto the runway; the yellow centerline was patchy. I was the PF and as we started the takeoff roll I had to concentrate on staying on center of runway as we advanced down the runway due to yellow centerline no longer visible. Everything seemed normal on the takeoff roll; then the captain said 'abort; I have the aircraft.' I did not recall the 80 KT call-out. As he performed the abort; I noticed his hand on the spoiler track handle and then immediately turned to grab my microphone and inform the control tower of the abort. I do not recall that I ever came back to see if the spoilers were deployed. After contacting tower; I immediately noticed the runway was almost all white with snow and the speed of the aft was not slowing very much and said something to the effect that '...you better brake harder!' captain said; he was braking. At this point I looked back down the center of the runway and felt that we would not be able to stay on the end of the runway. My attention drew to the end of the runway and how to angle the aircraft as to not hit the obstacles at the end. Then I noticed the captain angling the aircraft to the left to clear al obstacles. We exited the runway. We came to a stop. Captain announced to the passenger; 'this is the captain. Please remain seated.' I informed the control tower that we had exited the runway. Their immediate response was they would have the fire trucks rolling. At this point I was looking for any indications of fire in case we had to execute the emergency evacuate/evacuation checklist. There were no indications of any fire. The fire department arrived shortly and indicated everything outside of the aircraft was fine. We shut the engines down and left the APU running. Captain talked to the flight attendants and passenger. Shortly after that; I started to run the after landing checklist. There were some distrs that took me away from running the after landing checklist without interruption. I spoke to the captain about leaving the flaps in their present position due to people outside/around the aircraft. As I came back to complete the after landing checklist; I was not sure that I had stowed the spoilers previously. I finished the checklist and asked the captain if he was sure he had deployed the spoilers on the abort. His response was he was almost sure he had. I asked him again later and he said; 'after we came to a stop I had stowed the reversers and spoiler handle.' I then ran the parking check. We talked to the fire department and county to coordinate deplaning of passenger and we assisted. As I was assisting with deplaning the passenger; I noticed that runway 7R was being plowed. After all passenger and crew members deplaned; performed securing checklist. Supplemental information from acn 724735: at approximately 100 KTS; I heard and felt compression stalls on the left engine. The left engine instruments were rolling back. I took control of the aircraft and initiated the abort. Last half of runway seemed to have poor to nil braking.

Title: DC9-30 DEPARTS SNOW COVERED RWY SURFACE AFTER REJECTING TKOF DUE TO COMPRESSOR STALLS AT APPROX 100K.

Narrative: AFTER PAX WERE BOARDED; WE PUSHED BACK FOR DEICING; ENGS NOT RUNNING. AFTER DEICING; WE TAXIED TO RWY 7R. I LEFT THE APU ON FOR A POTENTIAL CONTAMINATED RWY TKOF. WE WERE #2 OR #3 FOR TKOF. TO THE BEST OF MY RECOLLECTION; ALL CHKLISTS WERE COMPLETED. PRIOR TO TKOF; WE COMPLETED THE 15 SECOND ENG RUN-UP. IT WAS SNOWING AND RWY WAS FAIR BUT IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS POOR OR WORSE TO ME. THE MU ON PAPERWORK WAS 40/32/38; THE LATER MU READING WAS RPTING 28/32/30. AS WE TURNED ONTO THE RWY; THE YELLOW CTRLINE WAS PATCHY. I WAS THE PF AND AS WE STARTED THE TKOF ROLL I HAD TO CONCENTRATE ON STAYING ON CTR OF RWY AS WE ADVANCED DOWN THE RWY DUE TO YELLOW CTRLINE NO LONGER VISIBLE. EVERYTHING SEEMED NORMAL ON THE TKOF ROLL; THEN THE CAPT SAID 'ABORT; I HAVE THE ACFT.' I DID NOT RECALL THE 80 KT CALL-OUT. AS HE PERFORMED THE ABORT; I NOTICED HIS HAND ON THE SPOILER TRACK HANDLE AND THEN IMMEDIATELY TURNED TO GRAB MY MIKE AND INFORM THE CTL TWR OF THE ABORT. I DO NOT RECALL THAT I EVER CAME BACK TO SEE IF THE SPOILERS WERE DEPLOYED. AFTER CONTACTING TWR; I IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THE RWY WAS ALMOST ALL WHITE WITH SNOW AND THE SPD OF THE AFT WAS NOT SLOWING VERY MUCH AND SAID SOMETHING TO THE EFFECT THAT '...YOU BETTER BRAKE HARDER!' CAPT SAID; HE WAS BRAKING. AT THIS POINT I LOOKED BACK DOWN THE CTR OF THE RWY AND FELT THAT WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO STAY ON THE END OF THE RWY. MY ATTN DREW TO THE END OF THE RWY AND HOW TO ANGLE THE ACFT AS TO NOT HIT THE OBSTACLES AT THE END. THEN I NOTICED THE CAPT ANGLING THE ACFT TO THE L TO CLR AL OBSTACLES. WE EXITED THE RWY. WE CAME TO A STOP. CAPT ANNOUNCED TO THE PAX; 'THIS IS THE CAPT. PLEASE REMAIN SEATED.' I INFORMED THE CTL TWR THAT WE HAD EXITED THE RWY. THEIR IMMEDIATE RESPONSE WAS THEY WOULD HAVE THE FIRE TRUCKS ROLLING. AT THIS POINT I WAS LOOKING FOR ANY INDICATIONS OF FIRE IN CASE WE HAD TO EXECUTE THE EMER EVAC CHKLIST. THERE WERE NO INDICATIONS OF ANY FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED SHORTLY AND INDICATED EVERYTHING OUTSIDE OF THE ACFT WAS FINE. WE SHUT THE ENGS DOWN AND LEFT THE APU RUNNING. CAPT TALKED TO THE FLT ATTENDANTS AND PAX. SHORTLY AFTER THAT; I STARTED TO RUN THE AFTER LNDG CHKLIST. THERE WERE SOME DISTRS THAT TOOK ME AWAY FROM RUNNING THE AFTER LNDG CHKLIST WITHOUT INTERRUPTION. I SPOKE TO THE CAPT ABOUT LEAVING THE FLAPS IN THEIR PRESENT POS DUE TO PEOPLE OUTSIDE/AROUND THE ACFT. AS I CAME BACK TO COMPLETE THE AFTER LNDG CHKLIST; I WAS NOT SURE THAT I HAD STOWED THE SPOILERS PREVIOUSLY. I FINISHED THE CHKLIST AND ASKED THE CAPT IF HE WAS SURE HE HAD DEPLOYED THE SPOILERS ON THE ABORT. HIS RESPONSE WAS HE WAS ALMOST SURE HE HAD. I ASKED HIM AGAIN LATER AND HE SAID; 'AFTER WE CAME TO A STOP I HAD STOWED THE REVERSERS AND SPOILER HANDLE.' I THEN RAN THE PARKING CHK. WE TALKED TO THE FIRE DEPT AND COUNTY TO COORDINATE DEPLANING OF PAX AND WE ASSISTED. AS I WAS ASSISTING WITH DEPLANING THE PAX; I NOTICED THAT RWY 7R WAS BEING PLOWED. AFTER ALL PAX AND CREW MEMBERS DEPLANED; PERFORMED SECURING CHKLIST. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 724735: AT APPROX 100 KTS; I HEARD AND FELT COMPRESSION STALLS ON THE L ENG. THE L ENG INSTS WERE ROLLING BACK. I TOOK CTL OF THE ACFT AND INITIATED THE ABORT. LAST HALF OF RWY SEEMED TO HAVE POOR TO NIL BRAKING.
