Officials at Cowdenbeath decided to drive a car onto the pitch to defrost the ground in the hope that it would ensure their clash with Rangers could go ahead.
Ground staff tried valiantly to warm a problem area on the frozen pitch using the vehicle's exhaust, the Daily Record reports.
Alas, their efforts were in vain as the tie - which is set to make the league two a hefty chunk of cash - was postponed just three hours before kick-off.
It will now be contested on Wednesday, January 30, at 7.45pm - weather permitting.
Fans and staff at Cowdenbeath joined forces to try to save in the pitch ahead of the game, working hard all week to ensure that it was in the best possible state as temperatures in Scotland dropped hugely.
Premier Sports, who were due to broadcast the match, were already present on site when it was postponed, and pundit Chris Sutton was baffled by the use of the car.
After seeing the car drive onto the pitch, presenter Darrell Currie asked Sutton - who lives on a farm in Norfolk - "Chris, you're a farmer ... what are they trying to achieve here?!"
Sutton replied: "I don't really know Darrell. It's not a practice we use in Norfolk!"Explore more on these topics:
