Is there a question about weather you've always wanted answered? Maybe there is something about the weather that you wanted to know, but couldn't quite understand. Meteorologist JD Rudd will break down and answer your questions weekly here on Weather Wise!

If you have a question for JD, leave your question in the comments section of our Facebook page or tweet it to us. Use the hashtag #WeatherWiseJD.

In this week's video, JD answers these questions:

1) Why does it sleet even if the temp is below freezing?
2) Why do meteorologists use different dates for the seasons?
