The general prognosis indicated no icing in the clouds, no turbulence and a quartering headwind from the west resulting in a mere five knots of headwind component. It was also destroying the propellers air foils causing a loss of thrust. It got turbulent, and then very turbulent. How can this be? His words were a shock!

Depending on the wind direction and airport surroundings, you may experience some turbulence. This will reduce your workload in turbulent conditions. But this can be hard to judge when the altimeter is so sensitive. This is because only one engine produces thrust. Landing on the windward wheel. Good question.

Notice the altimeter needle swing up and down gently, up to a few hundred feet. Thats completely different.
