It is generally (pretty much always) a no no to run a furnace condensate line to the outdoors, there is no avoiding this freezing up and stopping your furnace short of wrapping it with electric heat tape, which would be a bandaid at best and no more cheaper than correcting it. If the furnace is running condensate outside, I have to assume there is no drain near by. The best solution is to install a condensate pump, which the furnace and AC can drain into, and it then pumps to a different location indoors, like a laundry stack, or if you must, tap into a drain pipe with the proper fittings. If this is above your skill level, it would not be a bank buster to call a good contractor and have done. The pumps are about $60 in my area, and you can figure 1/2 hr to 3/4 hour to install by a contractor.

if you put screens to keep birds out of the pipes the moisture from the exhaust will freeze, and the exhaust motor will not be able to vent there by tripping the furnace on a pressure switch fault. the pipes ie intake and exhaust should have a minimum distance of 15 inches apart, and the same above the ground to prevent snow drifts blocking them.
