On Sunday I spent an couple hours in my back yard fixing my grill (the kind you make food in, not the bling). Put a new burner in and swore and threw things at the gas line until the clog that was preventing one side from working cleared.

Anyways, I took off my shirt for maybe half of the time ... and my back is smoked, two days later I can still feel it tingling.

How white did this winter make me that 60 minutes in 70 degree weather fried me up?

Anybody else get some sun this weekend? :cool:
 
I burned off the top few (yes, multiple) layers of the skin on my head that first Saturday in April. Wasn't a really warm day - but attending FB practice and then the ISU women's SB game did me in. Didn't even think to put any sunblock on. I had a solid blister covering over half of the top of my head.

Got a little pink on it again Sunday. Was in and outside off and on over the course of 2 hours. Very odd I slightly burnt it...but yet again, no sunblock.

Saturday I went up to the spring game with sunblock on, but wore my hat the entire day because it was too cold.

Go figure...
 
i guess i feel pretty lucky, i have spent a few summers in georgia and oklahoma and never have been sun burnt. i never really get that white during the winter which might explain this but it can however hot days can get and i never have gotten sun burnt.
 
you don't get a sunburn from heat, you get it from UV rays. Those rays don't care what the temperature is. You can get a sunburn just as easily on a 50 degree day in June as you can on a 90 degree day in June.
 
The following is a statement from musician Danny Federici (E Street Band) that was posted on his website just days before he died of Melanoma last week.

Sorry for being a downer but this really makes you think the next time you go out into the sun without sunscreen.

I spent my life, like many others, catching some rays, surfing, hanging out in the sun and it never bothered me until now. Who knew that something as simple as a proper sunscreen or keeping yourself covered up on a sunny day could one day save your life? Our culture looks at a nice tan as a sign of luxury. We spend time in tanning booths when we can't go to the beach or lay by the pool. It's time to think again. Especially if you're fair skined, have freckles, or light eyes. Be aware of the dangers, take precaution, and have yourself checked out regularly by a dermatologist from head to toe. It could absolutely make the difference in your life." --Danny Federici[/FONT]

Yeah, and I know better too. Seems with a long winter, I allow myself to forget and then relearn the hard way.

I usually get burnt once a summer and thats it. But I have to be out a long time. My wife however burns easily. When I met her she was soooo tan....mmmm.. Now I live with Casper. =) I once went to Florida and the weather was cold and windy the whole time. Finally on the last day it was sunny and warm so we tried to take advantage of it and sit by the pool all day. Worst sun burn ever. It hurt for a week.
