I have always found it hard to find historical weather on the web. Most
sites are geared to forecasting. What I'm looking for is average highs,
average lows, and precipitation for different locations.

Look for the climatology databases, like: http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/

The problem with the NOAA is they distribute the normals as a database. I
did this time find a retrieval tool. But it is not very friendly. It
rejects a Portsmouth zip code. If I look for all the state Portsmouth isn't
a choice. Nor is the Pease airport listed. Using longitude and latitude I
find that Greenland is the closest.

What it wants to do is to e-mail me a data dump.

I give up try to find this easily at the NOAA.
