Yes I'm pretty much sure that the announcement was that we were "experiencing severe icing conditions" but as I was just assuming it was turbulence initially, there is a slim chance I might have misheard the announcement. It immediately got my attention and I looked out at the wing and engine on my side - there was thick and obvious ice for all to see.
It was a pretty strange flight really - just after we had climbed out of the icing, but while we were still experiencing high prop speed, instablity & vibration the PAX sitting directly in front of me passed out and needed oxygen from the cabin crew. They did a brilliant job
