Narrative:

I am a flight service station specialist at ZZZ FSS, where as part of our duties we provide airport advisory service. The relief briefing when I first came on duty at XA00Z and took over if 1 (local control position) and controller in charge (controller in charge), was not recorded. The specialist being relieved says she conveyed that runway X/xx was closed along with numerous other items of information. I can neither confirm nor deny this statement, but the runway incursion device was not being used. Subsequently, when the wind shifted I gave airport advisories saying that the favored runway was runway X. One aircraft landed, with 2 others in the pattern to land. When I was informed on frequency of the runway status by state DOT personnel, I told the other 2 aircraft that runway X/xx was closed and to use runway 9/27. The runway was notamed closed in the predawn hours due to ice and nil braking action. The aircraft that landed in the early afternoon reported braking action as fair. There were no people or equipment on the runway.
