Narrative:
From ewr-dca, arriving approximately XB00, WX conditions freezing rain, snow, ice pellets and wind. Landed normally on runway 36. No reports of any bad braking action. On touchdown, the aircraft brakes were set to #2 on the anti- skid. All performed good and nothing noted unusual until exiting runway 36 at taxiway north. The aircraft appeared to skid and slide slightly. After coming to a complete stop and setting the brakes, captain and first officer noticed the aircraft was off the taxiway slightly. Called ground control and informed them that we should be able to get back on with no help needed. The aircraft never left the pavement. Ground mentioned that we might have clipped a taxiway light. Taxied to the gate and had maintenance check over the aircraft and found nothing unusual. Captain and first officer also observed nothing. Called by landline to the tower controller and he said the light might have already been down. If nothing was wrong with the aircraft, then he was satisfied. Flight continued back to ewr normally. No abnormalities noted.
