Narrative:
I was flying the aircraft on a part 91 flight. Approximately 10 minutes prior to my approach; I was in communication with unicom. Unicom advised that visibility was somewhat affected by snowfall and that the runways had been plowed a short time ago and that there currently was snowfall. Unicom did not indicate that it was unsuitable to land. I checked the weather during the procedure turn inbound and it indicated that visibility was above minimums. There was a clear approach to the runway and the landing went smoothly. After about 5 seconds; the plane began sliding to the right due to compacted snow and powdered snow on the runway. I tried to correct with engine power and rudders but it didn't stop the sliding. Then I shut the engines off and the plane slid to the right into a snow bank. There were no injuries and no structural damage to the plane. There is damage to the propellers.
