Narrative:

I was the pilot flying. We had been cleared direct to the fai airport. We had light ice visible on the wings so I had briefed solid bug and ref speeds on. We were then cleared for a visual approach to runway 20R. Establishing downwind leg I asked the captain (ca) to help call base and final turns as I could not see the runway very well in the left hand pattern. The surface winds were reported light. At our altitude; 2500 ft; they were stronger and from the east. Captain advised that I was too tight in the pattern so I selected an easterly correction. I called for flaps 5 and then gear down about 190 kias. Ca said I was still too tight; the wind was blowing me toward the runway in the pattern. I made another correction right. Instead of extending the downwind; ca suggested that a 90/270 turn would give me better spacing. I disengaged the autopilot; made a 90 degree right turn. I then entered the left turn back toward the runway; reduced power to begin descent. Airspeed was about 170 kias. Aware of the hills and mine I then looked out the window for the airport environment/runway and preparing to call flaps 15 and judge my position. The stick shaker came on.I advanced full power leveled the wings and lowered the nose. When I had regained airspeed and a level attitude; I reduced power and called for flaps 15. At this point the trim was way off. The stick shaker came on a second time. Again I went to full power; level wings and nose down. Ca called 'my airplane.'
