What with that

Hi, guys!

In the following sentence, I don't know the meaning of "what with that".

“It was growing darker every minute and what with that and the snowflakes swirling all round him he could hardly see three feet”

I guess it is almost same with 'moreover', 'furthermore', or 'in addition' etc. but I'm not sure.

Please explain to me what it means.
Thank you.
