Narrative:

ATIS was [saying that there was] chemical applied 50 ft down center of [the] runway [and] ¼ inch of slush. No mention of ice or snow on the runway. The active runway was 03; using the ILS approach to that runway. I elected to try the approach a first time; even though the RVR was 3;000. In the final phase of the approach [the] forward visibility became very poor; so I elected to go missed approach and try again; hoping for better visibility the next time around. A single engine aircraft then flew the approach and made a landing without incident. On my second try the RVR was 4;500 and the approach went great. I heard the snow removal equipment asking permission to enter the runway and they were instructed to await our arrival. After landing; during rollout; I was careful not to apply too much braking or reverse thrust in order to come to a slow taxi without sliding the aircraft. I was exactly down the center of the runway trying to stay on the 50 ft area which had the chemical applied to prevent ice. At the intersection of runway 01-19 we came upon a small berm of ice and snow; then a much larger berm on the far side of the intersection. I was unable to come to a stop; and we rolled through the berm at a speed of approximately 25 mph. There was a very noticeable bump and thud as we hit the snow and ice. We cleared the runway on taxiway delta; and then turned onto taxiway golf to park at an FBO. I noticed a vibration at that time. The snow removal equipment was then cleared to work on runway 03. After parking at the FBO and shutting down; the 3 blades of the right prop were bent from the impact with the snow and ice at the intersection. I believe the berm was left from the snow removal equipment working to remove snow from runway 01-19. As the snow blades passed the intersection of the two runways while removing snow from 01-19; the displaced snow was allowed to remain across the active runway in use. The tower did not advise of this snow and ice; therefore I believe they were under the impression the runway was clear. Poor communication between the snow removal equipment and the tower are to blame. As a result; the aircraft owner is going to have to replace a propeller and probably have the engine inspected.

Title: A twin engine turboprop landed on MKC Runway 2 and on roll out the right propeller was damaged after it struck a snow berm at the Runway 01-19 intersection; which ATC lead him to believe was clear of snow.
