NY and range in VT with Mt Mansfield/Stowe definitely got hit hardest from weather reports I saw. I drove through Franconia Notch yesterday AM on way to Waumbek and it had 4-5" of wet snow. Looked like it may have even been plowed. Top of Waumbek had a lot of spots with about 8" of snow. Had 2" at base on roads in area. Even coming home in the afternoon Franconia Notch still had about 2" of snow. Looked like someone even took a snowboard down the slopes on Cannon! Saw some figure 8's coming down one of the shorter trails toward the lake. Never know it was the end of May yesterday.

where was that 32" snow exactly? The Whiteface webcam shows no snow on Mon. Must have been a fast melt.

Same with the 12" at Stowe?

All the webcams in those links are down in the valley - you have to read the descriptions. The Whiteface cams you are looking at (the oval, the jumping complex, cross country ski complex) are all "in town" at or below 2000'. Snow accumulation line was at 2500'. (It snowed hard at my house at 1800', but all melted on contact, and did not acumulate.) From 2500' up, accumulation increased rapidly. The 32" were at Whiteface summit ~4800'. I imagine the other several high peaks at or above that elevation got just as much.
