Can you get a tan (at all) through glass windows?

I'm sitting here in 25 degree fahrenheit temperatures, 13 with windchill, but the sun is hot beating on my face through the window... Can I get any color this way?

No you are not getting a tan. Glass will pass infra red energy which is the heat you feel. However glass blocks Ultra violet which is what gives you a tan.

Yes, a tiny bit. The Sun's rays obviously aren't the strongest right now where you live tho.
