Narrative:

Due to ice on taxiway and close proximity of hold short line to taxiway K, we were not able to see the hold short line as we turned south on 'a'. We stopped at a point where we thought the hold short line should be. Hold short markers along side taxiway a would have helped tremendously as we turned the corner from taxiway K to a, heading south. Txwys were also sanded.
