Nile Rodgers is tweeting incredible photos of deserted New York from his apartment window

Eerie.

LAST NIGHT AND this morning, large parts of the US east coast – including New York City - have been battered by the worst snowstorm in years.

Nile Rodgers – of Chic and Get Lucky fame – is in the middle of it all, looking out of his apartment window.

And he’s been tweeting photos that sum up the eerie scenes in a deserted city.

Here's something I never seen before and I'm a lifetime New Yorker, no busses, cars, people or subway service. pic.twitter.com/uSbzIQAVwx

Empty streets as far as the eye can see in both directions.

My living room has a bay window, so here's a northern view. The street's deserted in this direction too! pic.twitter.com/R0ukO0Pmjh

Watching the occasional passer-by.

This woman looks so lonely. I guess we can look on the bright side. What if we had a blackout too? pic.twitter.com/C5D0YzThEd

And just one oasis of light and warmth:

No cars, busses, taxis or subways, but you can get a Big Mac. It's easy to be cynical but if you couldn't get home :) pic.twitter.com/QtW4YecVps

His tweets have been reposted hundreds of times… even on this side of the water.

And he’s still enjoying himself.

Thanks EVERYBODY for entertaining me. Twitter never let's me down when I need a laugh or am suffering from writer's block. Peace
