摘要：	The Tulsa Port of Catoosa was still in the grip of the polar vortex February 19, but that didn't stop port and state officials from kicking off the beginning of the year's celebration of the 50th anniversary of the inauguration of the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System (MKARNS) with a (virtual) news conference. Starting February 22, the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) began a series of social media posts called "MKARNS Mondays" on its Facebook and Twitter channels, @OKDOT, which will provide facts and photos of the system. The February 19 virtual event also marked the resumption of operations at the Tulsa Port of Catoosa, after they were suspended by icy conditions caused by the recent arctic blast. Port director David Yarbrough said most vessels in the port were on standby during the deep freeze, but only as a precautionary measure, not because the ice was too thick. Yarbrongh said the ice was between 4 and 6 inches. He told guests at the virtual news conference that traffic would resume as temperatures wanned and the ice melted.
