    This is second hand from a friend, but he said he overheard a conversation between 2 coworkers:

    Person A: looks like you got some sun this weekend

    Person B (badly sunburned): Yeah, I just bought a convertible and did a lot of driving with the top down. I figured that the wind would stop me from getting sunburned, but I guess it wasn’t cold enough

    Person A: That’s… not how that works

        Meanwhile I frequently wear them when it’s sunny after snowfall…bright white mounds do a lot to make the sun more annoying.

      My family always called it windburn. Not that it was caused by the wind, but that because you have airflow you don’t feel as hot so you dont think your being burned.

      I got second degree burns over most of my body on a FL beach through sunscreen in the 90s similarly. 0/10 do not recommend.

        Damn Florida. I got burned on the bottom of my foot when one of my sandals broke halfway through a beach walk in Florida. It absolutely sucked.
