Does Santa experience turbulence?

NOW: Does Santa experience turbulence?

According to NORAD the first recorded trip Santa made was in the year 343, making this year his 1681st trip. We have only been traveling in the skies for about 120 years and still have to deal with turbulence, but since Santa presumably has an almost 1500 year head start on the rest of us, his technology is more sophisticated than ours, meaning that even if he did hit a patch of rough weather, he likely has some sort of shield, created either by magic or science, to protect him and the reindeer from any adverse weather. There is also the possibility thanks to the Theory of Relativity, the faster something moves, the more time becomes warped around them. It’s commonly understood at this point that Santa has to move faster than the speed of light to deliver all of his gifts, meaning he likely exists in a different space-time continuum than we can even understand. Likely, during his flight a second feels more like a day, and since air doesn’t move that far in a second, he likely doesn't experience turbulence, even though we could be seeing some turbulence causing systems to pass over Michiana.
