I'm guessing that its just lack of updates to the companies' databases.
There could be some reluctance to add ASOS (esp. early ASOS - maybe they
haven't been 'approved' yet? Anybody who knows please step in here)
stations. All three of these are probably Automated non-augmented ASOS
stations I'm guessing. Keep in mind too that these type of stations are
sometimes subject to errors in data especially precip type - I have sent an
e-mail to the lady I used to work with at NCDC who has worked with the ASOS
data to ask her opinion on the accuracy of the data, I will let you guys know
what I hear back.

As noted above.
