Footage of a driver drifting his car around an empty snow-covered lot in New York City, NY, USA amid severe weather on Monday night.

The driver, who shot the video with a selfie stick held out of the car window, later wrote online: "I saw this parking lot empty and quite fun to drift and have fun with my Subaru outback ".

Emergency warnings were issued over the "potentially historic blizzard" this week, with deep snow in some parts of the US, but New York escaped the worst despite emergency precautions including historic transit closures being put in place.
