I have done the plastic and it works, but is just not anything but ugly. I have to do something due to high winds and cold temps.

Hi Dusty, here's a great article that shows a few ways to weather-proof window - https://glassdoctor.com/expert-tips/all-about-window-glass/how-to-keep-cold-air-from-coming-through-windows I hope it hepls
I put plastic on my windows every year because I live in a very cold climate. It does save energy, keeps any condensation off the windows, and stops any drafts from making the house feel colder. I too HATE the plastic look! I use sheers on my curtain rods with heavier drapes/curtains on each side for the winter. I have round rods and use grommet top curtains so I can close the heavier drapes in the evening. It still lets in light but I don't have to look at the plastic!
Try a different method....line the inside of your windows with heavy duty blackout drapes to muffle sound AND cold/wind.
