I don't think any of those will be supported, at least not initially.

But you could do it in photoshop if need be.

Those effects will not be explicitly supported initially however they could easily be added through plugins or possibly achieved through use of the Function nodes or other advanced techniques.

Yes, like alpha planes with the luminosity cranked up (for lightning atleast).

Hmm..a blend shader with a lot of pebbles (eg. fake stones shader) could make some fluffy snow ;)

I Meant in Mid Air though, not on the ground

And Adding two Surface Layers and limiting the maximum Slope Constraints makes great snow on the ground :)
