Wood framed storm windows on 2nd floor?

We own a 1885 two story that was extensively remodeled in 1922. Thankfully, not much was changed since then, other than the kitchen.
At some point, probably the 50s or 60s, the wooden storm windows in the kitchen and second floor were replaced with metal screens and storms. While I understand the logic of why the previous owner did this, I really would like to replace them with what was originally there.

My question is about the 2nd floor. Living in Michigan, I love to have the windows open as often as I can. Is there a solution for the 2nd floor that doesn't include switching them out with wood frames screens twice a year?

I know my husband would do it, but it just seems really dangerous to me.

Thanks :)
