Freeze and thaw
117 freezing nights a year put anything outside through freeze and thaw. Exterior shutters need materials and fixings made for that; interior shutters never see it.
Sun on the outside
With 75 days at 90°F or more, functional exterior shutters that close over the glass can keep sun off it. Decorative ones that don't close only frame the window.
