Narrative:

After landing; then turning onto taxiway delta; we started seeing snow blowing over the windshield. The ground controller asked if we had an engine problem because he saw all the snow being blown around. I looked inside and saw the amber rev unlocked light on engine #1 illuminated. I cycled the reverser lever twice which resulted in the green reverser light illuminated; so I decided to shut down the engine. The QRH applied only to an inflight situation. We taxied to gate and shut down #2 after ground power was applied to the aircraft. I wrote it up in the aml & spoke with maintenance. Inadvertent/uncommanded deployment of #1 thrust reverser on taxi in. (Both reversers showed stowed on landing at 60 KIAS)
