It was colder most nights before arriving in the Sierras than after.  
I was glad to have a 20 degree quilt up until around end of June.  
Then I was too hot. I didn't go further than August so I don't know  
how cold it gets toward the end. Basically, the temperature seemed to  
follow the season and have less to do with proximity to this so- 
called "desert" everyone believes comprises the entire Southern  
California section. (Hint: it's largely rugged pine- and spruce- 
forested mountains at surprisingly high altitudes.)

I bought a GoLite quilt rated to 20 degrees and used it after  
Wrightwood. It was less expensive than the Nunatek because it isn't  
individually made to order. I really like it.
