Heavy snow initially led to the match being postponed on Friday. Additional snow fell on the field Saturday and ice formed.
No new date was set.
Russia (4-0) leads Group F with 12 points, four ahead of Israel and Portugal (both 2-1-2). Northern Ireland (0-1-3) has three points, ahead of Azerbaijan on goal difference, and Luxembourg (0-3-2) is last with two.
Northern Ireland hosts Israel on Tuesday. Portugal, held to a 3-3 draw at Israel on Friday, is at Azerbaijan and will play without Cristiano Ronaldo, suspended for accumulation of yellow cards.
