Was out throwing the past few days in the colder weather and noticed my discs are fading really fast after the turn portion and almost going sideways. Is it because the air is just so much more dense and causing it to fade quicker and harder?

Aye. They were turning a lot. If they got more than 12 feet of elevation they would turn 50-100 feet before fading back. I was getting fairly good distance I thought for my arm and the discs, just clearly getting robbed of the fade distance part. So maybe they were just getting slowed down so much that by the time the fade kicked in they were going a lot slower than normal and fading hard? There was a slight crisswind of about 3 mph. Maybe that helped contribute to itDenser air would make the disc fly more understable. As an example, discs fly more overstable in higher elevation than sea level.
If a disc already turned for you, then had an 'almost glowing sideways' kind of fade, seems like it got pushed pretty hard by a right to left crosswind. It also might be that since you're cold, you might not be fully loose, and throwing the discs slower. A higher speed disc that isn't thrown up to speed will have a sharp fade, even if you got some turn out of it.
Inconsistent form producing different results on different days?

I feel attacked.
Less ejection speed in the winter. Cold hands and= weaker grip. More clothing = less range of motion/less in the way
Cold air makes plastic firmer. Firm discs are generally more overstable.
Cold air is also denser so discs slow down quicker
