Careful with the semantics. We are talking about runway state message, introduced to ICAO METAR standard by 98 I think. Compared to SNOWTAM it provides very limited informaton.
What I had forgotten to add to my first post was, that most importantly RSM is no forecast thus appear in METAR unlike icing/turbulence forecast group that to no surprise appear in TAF.
I remember seeing this for the first time and checking my college notes (thank you Prof.Nedelka), we've been given a ICAO official training aid METAR/TAF decode table. I just tried to look it up on the internet, no avail. I know where my paper version is, but can anyone help finding the on-line storage for these? Most useful documents.
