Landed without incident. Took taxiway D. At a slow pace got 2/3 of the way up the taxiway and left brake froze up. Slid off to the left and stopped the aircraft. Throttled up a little to try to get centered again to no avail. Stopped engines. Airport personnel came and attempted to clear out the snow. Started engines and tried again to get centered. Slid even more to the left and stopped aircraft again. Left main ended up off the pavement. Called for maintenance to tug me in. Kept engines running for passenger comfort; heater; until tug showed up. Stopped engines and was tugged in. The cause was primarily due to 5 to 6 inches of snow on the ground; below freezing temps.
C-402 Captain reported a taxiway excursion due to left brake failure due to freezing temperatures.
