Harry Kane’s pursuit of more Bundesliga goals will have to wait after Bayern Munich’s game with Union Berlin was postponed due to snow.
There was a heavy downfall in the Munich area overnight and it is expected to continue throughout the day, meaning the decision was made to call the game off.
Kane has been insatiable for Bayern, bagging 18 goals in 12 games and last week became the highest-scoring Englishman in a single season in the Bundesliga.
Bayern were looking to regain top spot in the table ahead of Bayer Leverkusen, who play Borussia Dortmund on Sunday.
Today s Bundesliga home match against has been postponed due to extreme snowfall in Munich.

Portugal boss Fernando Santos does not know what else can be said about Cristiano Ronaldo after his starring role in Sunday s Nations League win over Switzerland.
The veteran forward bounced back from being benched for Thursday s opener against Spain with a brace as he led the hosts to a 4-0 rout in Lisbon.
The result maintained an unbeaten start to the latest iteration of the competition for Portugal and further underlined the vital role their captain plays in their success.
Speaking afterwards, Santos who together with Ronaldo delivered Euro 2016 glory six years ago admitted he has no further words to describe one of the game s greatest figures.
I don t know what else to say, Santos said. I will repeat that he is the best player in the world.
Bakary Sako s sixth goal of the season gave Crystal Palace a 1-0 win over Burnley and moved Roy Hodgson s side further away from the relegation strife that once threatened to engulf their season.
Former Wolves forward Sako was aghast to see a first-half penalty claim waved away after being brought down by James Tarkowski but channelled his frustrations to secure the points midway through the first half at Selhurst Park.
Palace s recovery under Hodgson now stands at a solitary defeat in their past 12 Premier League outings – an impressive rehabilitative effort for both the south London club, who are five points clear of the bottom three, and their veteran former England manager.
That poisoned chalice might one day pass to Sean Dyche, who has rarely seen his ro…
James Maddison is more than happy to shoulder responsibility at Tottenham but has insisted it will take a “collective” effort to replace Harry Kane.
Maddison continues to impress in the Spurs number 10 shirt previously worn by Kane, who completed a £100million move to Bayern Munich on the eve of the new season.
Kane’s departure has not derailed the early progress of Ange Postecoglou’s team with Maddison relishing his role as creator in chief with two assists at Brentford earlier this month followed up with a maiden Tottenham goal in Saturday’s 2-0 win over Bournemouth.
Happy Saturdays from me and the old boy in Row E

Erik ten Hag looked to move past the controversy surrounding Cristiano Ronaldo s early departure from a pre-season friendly as the Dutchman prepares for his first Premier League game as Manchester United manager.
Ronaldo was one of several United players who left Old Trafford early during last weekend s 1-1 friendly draw with Rayo Vallecano.
Ten Hag gave an interview on Dutch television during the week and called such actions unacceptable .
While he was talking broadly about all players who went home early, the focus of those quotes in the media was on Ronaldo.
The Portugal star s relationship with United has been a constant sideshow during pre-season, as he did not go on their tour of Australia and Thailand owing to personal reasons, though at the time…
Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino claimed a slice of history in Liverpool s victory over Manchester City on Tuesday, becoming the club s most prolific goalscorers in a single European Cup or Champions League campaign.
Both players netted their eighth of the season, putting them clear at the top of a list that contains some Anfield greats of yesteryear.
Remarkably, the seven-goal haul of Sadio Mane this season places him just behind Salah and Firmino, alongside Roger Hunt (1964-65) and Steven Gerrard (2008-09).
Graeme Souness (1980-81), Terry McDermott (1980-81), Gerrard (2007-08), Peter Crouch (2006-07) and Fernando Torres (2007-08), meanwhile, all managed six European goals in a single season for the five-time champions.
Salah has now been involved …
Jimmy Greaves would have been absolutely delighted Harry Kane was the man to break his Tottenham goalscoring record, according to his son.
Greaves had long represented the benchmark at Spurs with his 266 goals across a nine-year career with the club.
But modern Tottenham great Kane moved past the club legend on Sunday in scoring his 267th goal, a winner against Premier League champions Manchester City.
It was a special occasion and a vital win for Spurs as they chase Champions League qualification, and fans at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium were in no rush to head home.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang can smash the curse of the Chelsea number nine shirt and become a Blues favourite, according to boss Thomas Tuchel.
Former Arsenal captain Aubameyang completed a return to the Premier League on Thursday when he left Barcelona in a deal worth £10.3million (€12m), signing a two-year deal.
As well as winning over Chelsea fans who remember him as a recent opponent from a rival London side, Aubameyang also faces the task of living up to his shirt number.
A string of well-known strikers have struggled to impress as Chelsea s number nine, including Alvaro Morata, Gonzalo Higuain, Radamel Falcao and more recently Romelu Lukaku.
Head coach Tuchel dismissed concerns over Aubameyang s attitude, after a four-year spell at Arsenal came to…
Manchester City can go 11 points clear at the Premier League summit by beating arch-rivals Manchester United on Sunday, but Michael Owen does not believe such a result would end the title race.
Pep Guardiola s side have been in phenomenal form in 2017-18 and head into the Manchester derby at Old Trafford as the top flight s only unbeaten side.
City took an early advantage at the summit last season before Chelsea surged to the title, and former United forward Owen does not think they will be able to ease off should they open a sizeable lead.
I think City were quite a few points ahead last season and didn t go on to win it and actually Chelsea went on to win it at an absolute breeze, so definitely nothing is going to be decided so soon, Owen told Omnisport, speak…
Arsenal head coach Unai Emery believes Aaron Ramsey will deliver for the Premier League club despite uncertainty over his future.
Ramsey is out of contract at the end of the season and talks over a new deal have reportedly broken down.
The Wales international, 27, arrived at Arsenal in 2008 and has made more than 300 appearances for the club.
Despite Ramsey s contractual situation, Emery believes the midfielder – who has featured in all six of Arsenal s league games this season – will stay focused.
I don t think the situation will affect his performances, he told UK newspapers ahead of Arsenal s meeting with Watford on Saturday.
I just want to give him and the players the most stability so that they can be focused only on the games. I spoke …
