Probably depends how they determine what is a day. Is it 24hrs or midnight to midnight? We've definitely gotten more the 35" in a storm, but it was most likely over the course of 36hrs. Also their sources are not anything official.

The current results source says it's single calendar day, so my guess is midnight to midnight.
I'm not sure where someone would find a database of snowfall recorded by the hour. So finding the 24 hour record would take reading historical news articles and a lot more research than looking at a chart. The article doesn't list it's source but I'm guessing the national weather service.
