Leg cramps: Just because you notice pain in legs in winter may have little to do with weather. Leg cramps have various causes including dehydration, electrolyte imbalance (Calcium, Sodium, potassium) and muscle fatigue etc. If taking OTC anti inflammatory meds dont help, pl get yourself checked for getting some lab work for an accurate diagnosis.

Leg pains: In winter, several reasons for leg pains---- cold weather causes vasoconstriction of superficial cutaneous blood vessels, which is body mechanism to not to lose heat. However there could be several other reasons for leg cramps which might not be associated with cold weather. Anyway reasons need to be investigated
