What did we do before APP's......
08L Dry Snow 51%-100% 3 mm 0.35 medium braking action
08R Wet Snow 26%-50% 3mm 0.45 good braking action
09L Wet Snow 11%-25% Not reported 0.68 good braking action
Oh yea, I remember, we used to use the Met section of the Jeppesen Manuals

Why are we still using these archaic and obscure abbreviations anyway ?
Ridiculous really that we should accept routinely having to waste time deciphering codes that there are no reason for anymore.
Yes, 'there's an app for that' but so what ?
It wouldn't make much difference to the amount of paperwork to print everything out in plain language, including Notams and it would, undoubtedly contribute to flight safety.

As I'm always bumping into people seeking clarification of METARs, thought I'd share this with you: http://www.wmo.int/pages/prog/www/WM...ction/Sel2.pdf. I recommend you keep a copy on your tablet PCs or phones.
Section 15 is for METARs. Search for "State of the runway" for further info.
