This Wikipedia page seems to be fairly up to date on high and low temperature records for States.

US State Temperature Extremes

New York -57°F/-49°C February 18, 1979 Old Forge

Vermont -50°F/-46°C December 30, 1933 Bloomfield

New Hampshire -47°F/-44°C January 29, 1934 Mount Washington

Maine -50°F/-46°C January 16, 2009 Big Black River

Right now here are lowest temps on weatherunderground

New York - Saranac Lake -31 °F

Vermont - Saint Johnsbury -17.2 °F

New Hampshire - Mount Washington -33 °F

Maine - Frenchville -14.0 °F

So it looks like Mt. Washington New Hamsphire is just 14 °F from the State record. And Saranac Lake New York is just 26 °F from the state record. Mt. Washington could make a run. Got 4 hours to go.

It warmed back up to -29 on Mt Washington after you posted. The polar vortex moved east, and that’s what determines the temperature, not the diurnal cycle. But there was one interesting weather feature this morning, the dewpoint was 62 below zero. That’s basically what you might see flying above 30,000 feet at the upper edge of the troposphere. Basically it means Mt Washington was practically sticking into the stratosphere thanks to compression of the troposphere.
