How different is the weather in Daegu from the weather in Busan? It seems pretty similar when I looked at the wiki page.

... specifically I'm talking snow here. Does it snow very often in Daegu?

no. Snow is rare. Busan tends to be slightly warmer during the winter, but that is not saying much as it can get quite cold on the peninsula, but Daegu gets hotter during the summer. I read Daegu is one of the hottest places in the country somewhere.

Daegu is known to have the most extreme weather in Korea, as in friggin' humid in summer and bone-chilling cold in winter.

Correct. Daegu is both the hottest and the coldest city in Korea. While we are the coldest, we don't get much snow or ice, however. Daegu also doesn't seem quite as windy as, say, Seoul.

Yeah the wind in Seoul is what really gets me. Temp might be all right, but then the wind gets you.

Busan has the mildest summers and winters in Korea while Daegu has the most extreme, so not really very similar at all.

Not saying you're wrong because, I assume, you've lived there and I take you're word over wiki's. But perhaps you can see how one could easily be confused. It appears to me that Daegu is five degrees colder in winter and five degrees hotter in the summer. That seems similar to me.
