Kelty Hearts' clash with Arbroath this afternoon has been postponed.
A pitch inspection was called for 10.30am at New Central Park to determine whether the SPFL League One fixture would go ahead, but adverse weather conditions caused by Storm Bert have led it to being cancelled.
Michael Tidser's Kelty are top of the table, with their opponents second on goal difference, but their meeting will now be rescheduled for a future date.
The call-off comes after all matches across the East of Scotland Football League also fell victim to the conditions.

Storm Bert has brought weather warnings across the country for snow and ice, and it has brought disruption to travel.
The Queensferry Crossing has been closed in both directions, with traffic being diverted on to the Forth Road Bridge, whilst snow was earlier reported to be having an impact on the M90 at Kelty.

As it stands, Dunfermline Athletic's SPFL Championship match at Ayr United remains scheduled to go ahead, but Dunfermline Rugby Club's senior men's first and second XV matches, at Greenock Wanderers and Kirkcaldy second XV, are both off.
Prior to the arrival of Storm Bert, Superintendent Vinnie Fisher, deputy head of Road Policing with Police Scotland, said: “All road users should consider if they really need to travel in adverse weather.
“When driving on ice and snow, keep well back from the road user in front. Stopping distances can be up to ten times greater than on dry roads.
“Check your windscreen washer levels and ensure your windows are completely clear before driving. Failure to do so can result in a fine.
“Listen to media broadcasts for updates, follow Transport Scotland and the Met Office on social media and share information with others
