Metar Decoding question for US airports

Hi gents,

Was flying into to JFK the last couple days and on the DATIS has a strange metar that none of us was able to decode. Couldnt find it on FAR AIM nor on the LIDO met section. Wondering if anyone could give me a pointer thanks!

So it was something like this : bla bla bla 3 / 3 / 3 rwy condition 1/8 inch dry snow over compacted ice bla bla bla

Whats does the 3 / 3 / 3 mean?
