My BD came up to me during a band council meeting and asked if I would be willing to start a winterguard, my school has never had one and before I joined this guild I didn't even know they existed (I'm a first-year flag). So could someone explain to me what a winterguard is exactly? Please?

Well, rather than explaining it all here, my suggestion would be to check out http://www.wgi.org/
There are a lot of articles there explaining what it's all about and there are video clips and other multimedia so you can see for yourself. But basically, it's indoor colorguard. But, like most things, it's more complicated than just that. So check out that site and you should find what you need.

Winterguard is Color Guard Only. It's a competition for the color guard without the band. It's in doors. And there are less restrictions on what the guard can do performance wise. The judges are harder on judging because they are A LOT closer. They can litteraly see ever non pointed toe. You pick a song and perform to it. Present it the best you and your team can.

I could give you a dictionary or experienced definition... But I'm not. Since I one asked what WinterGuard was, I'll tell you the same thing my instructor told me: WinterGuard off the field, usually in a court of some sort, and is more relaxed than marching season. In my school, this means: more goofing around and techno music. And stupid silly spandex outfits that take forever to learn how to put on. And show makeup (like Nike blush cheeks). Things like that. It's a little easier, too, since it's not cold and there's no wind to screw up your tosses.
