No shortage of contaminated RT though, as usual. "We're rolling the trucks en route" indeed! Let alone readbacks from most of the other traffic, in a situation where punctilous readbacks are even more essential than usual.
RCC was at 3/3/3 due to “slippery when wet” notam. Per FAA AC, if any portion of the runway fails friction RCC 5 when wet, they notam whole thing 3/3/3. Typically due to rubberized deposits. 27 in Kiah is heavily a landing runway, where 9 not so much. Either way, if unfamiliar with the runway, probably best to treat it as advertised.
