You might be able to get some information from the METAR archive websites.
Here's one that includes all stations within a US state going back to
1998:

Can anyone see a way to get a range of reports from this? I suppose I
could write a little script to query this for each observation over a
block of time, but that seems impolite.

Or, by individual airport:

This gives a maximum of a few days (1440 observations), as far as I can
see. Can anyone see a way to get past that?

Thanks...
