24290095 This is the motne code for rwy 24. Motne stands for Meteorogical Operational Telecommunication Network Europe, and is a way of passing the runway state in code so that pilots will know what contamination is on the runway. Used in snow and ice conditions.

24 = Runway 24
2 = wet or water patches
9 = 51 to 100% contaminated
00 = depth less than 1mm
95= braking action good

Interestingly though.. using the decode link... this suggests that only 24L was affected in this way. Is this correct? As 24R alone would be 74 and all would 88?
