Current windows are nearly 60 years old
Wood frame with single pane glass
Aluminum storm windows

I would like to upgrade all my windows

One particular problem
Bad weather, rain, snow, sleet, etc is mostly from the west.
The west side of the house has no protection such as trees other buildings,
etc, and therefore takes the brunt of bad weather
So windows on the west side of the house is need more protection.

In what ways can I improve the survivability of new windows on the West side
?
