Another dream for the photo checklist

In addition to star trails, one of the things I'm eager to try with photography is a time-lapse video. With the forecast for last week's snowstorm -- and it all lived up to the hype -- I pondered whether I could make it happen, but came to the realization that I would either need to stay up for an extended period of time or quickly find a way to get an interval timer and A/C power connection for one of my cameras. Upon realizing that none of this was feasible, I abandoned the wish for this storm. At some point, I'll research those tools again and maybe I'll eventually have what I need to produce something like this:
