Narrative:

Parking at the gate; winds south gusting to 30. Left engine running; right engine shutdown. About 20 feet from the stop; the plane began to drift to the right; felt like it was sliding. Unable to correct with nose wheel. Stopped; set parking brake. Started right engine; then we were able to control direction and park with assistance of a marshaller. After parked; chocks in; we left the parking brake set and the hydraulics on; and about 6-7 minutes into deplaning; the wind pushed the nose of the aircraft to the right about 12 inches. Maintenance indicated they were going to look at the nose wheels because they saw us sliding with the nose wheel turned almost full deflection. Tires were almost new; lots of tread. Ramp was wet.
