THE PLT REPORTED THAT DURING ARRIVAL, HE FOLLOWED THE ILS GLIDE SLOPE TO TOUCHDOWN ABOUT 1000 FT DOWN THE RWY. HE REPORTED THE LANDING WAS SMOOTH, AND WHEN THE ACFT WAS APRX 100 FT FROM THE INTERSECTION OF RWYS 1/19 AND 10/28, HE SAW A RIDGE OF SNOW AND ICE ACROSS THE RWY. SINCE THE ACFT SAW STILL TRAVELING AT APRX 50 KTS, THE AIRCREW COULD NOT AVOID THE ICE AND SNOW. AS THE ACFT CROSSED THE INTERSECTION, A LOUD NOISE WAS HEARD. THE LANDING GEAR AURAL WARNING HORN ACTIVATED AND THE RED LIGHT ON THE NOSE GEAR INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. AFTER STOPPING, AN INSPECTION REVEALED THE NOSE GEAR WAS BENT AFT AND THE FUSELAGE WAS WRINKLED. ALSO, THE SPACE BETWEEN THE NOSEWHEEL TIRES WAS FOUND PACKED WITH ICE. A FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT SNOWPLOW OPERATORS HAD BEEN PLOWING SNOW ON RWY 10/28 AND TURN-AROUNDS HAD BEEN MADE ON RWY 1/19 BEFORE SWEARINGEN, N1011N, HAD LANDED.
