Everyone complains that the weather information provided by the Obs isn't accurate for hikers, being all about the sensors at the top of the tower, which is well above the surface of Mt Washington, which is well above the other peaks. Sometimes they're right, and sometimes they're wrong.
Have you ever checked out the Obs Mesonet? This page displays wind speed, humidity, or temperature from a number of sensors around the area, including the Washington summit, Bretton Woods at 2200', the Highland Center, the Cog base, Cranmore, Attitash, sensors in Jackson & Bartlett, and most recently a brand-new weather observation rig mounted on top of the Cannonball chairlift on Cannon Mountain at around 4100'. Yes, you can now get live data from everyone's favorite elevation!
Click on any sensor on that web page for historical detail. Sensors at Mizpah and Lakes of the Clouds only transmit once daily and so only have historical information.
