Why so much hate for this card? It had a niche, one that it served well. Sure, you'd rather have a Braid of fire especially now that there's no mana burn. However back in the '90s this card was serviceable towards the c-upkeep mechanic. 3 Stars within its context.
No, think about it. You have Snow-covered Islands, but they now produce {G}. However, Snowfall makes them produce {G}{U}{U}, and you can pump that into the Naked Singularity and ply some colorless cards.
I just don't like how all it does really is help pay for itself.

It was horrendous counting with two other CUK cards & both types of islands in play.

Yo dawg we heard you like cumulative upkeeps, so we put a mana engine in your cumulative upkeep card so you can pay cumulative upkeeps while you pay for cumulative upkeep!

Lots of lines of text on a card that barely does anything. If you have tons of cards that need blue mana for c-upkeep, sure, I guess.... though this also has the same type of upkeep - argh!

This card fueled Cumulative decks. Snowfall put additional mana into the pool, so its effects stacked when more than one were in play. 3 Snowfalls on the board could fuel a deck for quite a long time, with 7 mana available for each snow-covered land tap. A Skull of Orm helped recycle a Snowfall when the cost got too high. Illusionary Terrain , Musician, and even Illusions of Grandeur come to mind, and later a Mind Harness. Eon Hub eliminates upkeep, making some of these cumulative cards playable again. But Snowfall is what we used in the "olden" days...

Reality Twist works far better, of course, due to the fact that it's blue. Power Conduit or possibly Clockspinning can deal with the brutal mana ramping.
