What does it mean to have も plus the て form and きて？A translation gives me “Now
that it’s snowing...” so does するもしてきて mean “Now that it’s X...”? Or is there
another meaning to it?

question
grammar verbs て-form
Explanation of 「雪も降ってきて」
Some context would help!

Anyway the も and て are sometimes used in that way describing a series of
events, with a kind of an unstated tone of [Already this, I wonder what will
happen next?]

So, the **sentence in the title** could eg come from someone who has first
said:

The weather forecast really got it wrong this time. They said this was
supposed to be a nice, warm and sunny winter day, but it's so cold, and can't
see the sun anywhere! ... [Look!] **now it even started to snow** , [I bet we
will soon get a thunderstorm as well!]

[ほら！] **雪も降ってきて** [きっともうすぐ雷にもなるだろう]

answer
This is a combination of three grammar points, namely も, -てくる and sentence-end
te-form.

  1. 雪が降る。  
It snows.

  2. 雪が降っ **てきた** 。  
It started to snow.

    * This てくる describes something is coming toward you, mentally, temporally or physically. [Difference between -ていく and -てくる](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/676/5010)
  3. 雪が降っ **てきて…**  
It started to snow, **and/so** ...

    * This te-form is where "now that" came in. See: [て form at end of phrase but not being used for requests](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/60762/5010) (the third usage in my answer)
  4. 雪 **も** 降ってきて…  
It **even/also** started to snow, and/so ...

    * が/は is replaced with も to describe the nuance of "on top of that".
