What does this indicate on a METAR?
Don't quite know which section to post this, but here goes
Have never seen this before... what does 29519095
OAKB 120750Z 11004KT 1600 -SN BR SCT008 BKN015 OVC030 01/01 Q1016 29519095 NOSIG RMK YLO YLO
Goes to OAKB 121150Z 31005KT 1600 -SN BR SCT004 BKN015 OVC025 00/00 Q1013 112///93 NOSIG RMK YLO YLO
what does 112///93 indicate?
YLO YLO is the military code for cloud base and visibility... the fact that these digits appear before the RMK makes me think it's not military related. Any idea...

Looks more like runway state codes due to the snow. Does this airfield have runways 11 and 29 perhaps?

If you have an ipod etc there is a very good App called Snowtamlite which decodes the figures for you. (assumming you are allowed to use multi media devices in your ops room 
)
Spitoon I think MOTNE is w.f.u.
SI CAP 493 Mats pt1 13/12/10 uses the phrase Runway State Reports / Runway State Groups ( formally known as MOTNE ).

AyrTC,
Well spotted.
Of course way back, ATCOs would probably have had their own copies of MATS Pt.1 and would have all known this, (from the hand-incorporated personal amendment), resulting in a cascade of correct answers.
It took me a while to dig the information out from the CAA website.

fisbang,
Sorry, but you're not quite there.
MOTNE = Meteorological Operational Telecommunications Network Europe.
P.S. Apologies, but at the risk of being sadly pedantic the locomotive was actually called 'Stephenson's Rocket'.
