Is it possible to calculate the extent of a planet's polar ice caps?

If so, what's the equation (or series of equations) for this, and what variables do I need to take into account?

EDIT: the planet in my setting is rather "chilly" (around 9.35 Celsius average) with about 20% of the surface covered in water. What I really need is a way to get a a guideline to estimate its size.
