Making for a slippery, treacherous mess
http://news.yahoo.com/alaska-town-tries-dig-huge-snow-dump-232753203.html
Responders said Sunday that rain fell overnight, making for a slippery, treacherous mess in the Prince William Sound community of 2,000 year-round residents.
Would it be okay to say "causing" in place of making for? Is making for better in this context?
