Abstract: 

One form of the verb "hack" means "to make rough of random cuts" (hack 2018). It was once commonly used to denote frost's capacity to chap or crack the skin. This particular meaning derives from "tōhaccian" or to hack to pieces (hack). Bearing this violent etymology in mind, and taking New York as my muse, I ask what would it take to materially hack the Anthropocene in the archaic sense of frost cracking skin? What would it mean and what would it take for the city's lips to be seriously chapped in a snowstorm?
