Expand mantaflow

For some time now I have been trying to make granular snow in blender, i've been searching for tutorials on how to achieve molecular or granular snow. Is there anything i can do to achieve this?

I believe that having the mantaflow system or another simulation system for granular effects should be added in the near future.

I guess you could use the "molecular script" add-on for that. But yeah if Blender wants to have simulations it should have all types of simulation like houdini has (gas, liquid, granular, crowds, soft body, cloth, hair and particles). It would be also nice if they all effected each other but that I'm guessing would be hard to achive. After we finish the "animation 2020" we should tackle "Simulation 202X".

* @Anže * I have heard of the molecular script add-on, however, i dont know if i could implement it to an actual production. As far as i am aware, the script doesnt show good results without high samples. I do not know alot about this add-on at this very moment of typing this, hopefully it becomes a standalone feature for Blender in the near future, becoming reliable with added support for particle nodes and so on.
