Glucosamine chondroitin is a wonderful supplement for joints, and I take it every day. With the walking you're doing, you'll be sore for a while but it should go away once your body adjusts. Do you walk this far every day for this job? If you do the 5-6 miles only once every great while, you will need to keep your body in shape other ways in between. Otherwise the pain will be there every time.
In cold weather, dress in layers, and remove them or add them as needed. I work outside too, and if you let yourself get soaked from sweat, then you'll be miserable when you slow down and cool off. The moisture will suck the heat right out of you. The guy from the "Survivorman" TV show said it well: "you sweat, you die". Obviously this is for serious winter/subzero survival situations, but the message is still applicable. I wear polyester, moisture-wicking underwear, and wool-blend socks.
