Narrative:
Our aircraft was cleared to descend to dreem intersection. A crossing restr was requested by ATC. It was, descend to 5000 ft 6 mi before dreem. I was operating the radios and replied that I accepted the crossing restr. Just before we arrived at the 6 mi restr, we encountered clouds and turbulence. We reduced our rate of descent and indicated airspeed. Because of this, we did not meet our crossing restr altitude. I was busy doing the prelndg checklists and I failed to notify ATC that we were not able to meet the restr. I should have anticipated where I would be and have given ATC a warning that the restr could not be met.
