A shuttle bus between the terminals began to operate about 4 AM or so (sorry, but I can't remember the time more exactly), and I was able to go the terminal needed for my early flight. I had to wait for an hour or so before security opened.
I realize that things may have changed in the meantime, but I hope that these comments may be of some help.
there is a difference between stranded passengers already in the airport and passengers trying to access the airport. Lga is closed however, they at times need to accommodate stranded passengers and do so which is what happened in the case above, this is very different than trying to enter the airport when it is closed,
