Narrative:

Ground cleared our flight to taxi to deice pad at runway threshold. During taxi in poor visibility, I saw a taxi light at approximately the 2:30 O'clock position and immediately took evasive action. Other aircraft asked ground control if they were cleared to runway threshold, and told yes. We then confirmed our clearance to the deice pad, and ground agreed. Flight proceeded normally after this occurrence.
