METAR decode query

I've just been looking at the S.E England Metars and if noticed that on the end of some of them, there is a string of digits :-

LONDON/HEATHROW EGLL 081050Z 05005KT 1200 09R/1300 09L/P1500 SN VV/// M00/M02 Q1017 TEMPO 4000 -SN BKN014 09520095 59510295

and

SOUTHEND EGMC 081050Z 36003KT 8000 FEW006 SCT007 BKN012 00/M01 Q1017 06499792

What do they mean? Is it anything to do with the condition of the runway braking/friction?

Current MET in SE Essex - 2-3 inches of snow after three hours, then it stopped for an hour but its just started snowing again.
