So what was the max and min and bp on Mount Washington 100 years ago? Though, comparing one day from then to one day now would be a pretty small sample to draw conclusions from.

Still, according to your theory, there should be almost a 300% change in 100 years. Even with a small sample, that should be visible. So the difference between max and min on that day 100 years ago should be no larger than about 12. Does that sound reasonable for a 6k mountain in winter to you? Maybe if there was a thick cloud cover higher than the mountain during the night? Pretty unlikely.

You are going to great pains to explain a phenomenon that you have not established as existing at all. Believe me: if there was such a huge change in the difference between max and min temperatures over such a short period of time... and alternatively, if there was such a drastic change in worldwide barometric pressure over such a short time... then you would have heard about it from the scientific community. And it would be a bigger topic of study and with more funding thrown at it than any other, bar none. It would be in the news more often than global warming is.
