Narrative:
Taxiing in last night; we were cleared in to the gate from the southport on the bravo line. It was snowing; but 34 degrees; so just wet; no snow sticking to the surface. Once we crossed the alpha taxiway into the southport; it was impossible to see the bravo line. Neither my first officer nor I could see the yellow taxi line. I stopped the taxi while we navigated where the line was and a de-ice truck drove by on our right hand side. These taxi lines need to be repainted. This is a huge safety hazard as it could cause an aircraft accident.
