Observed this as well. Property with a seasonal stream in Rhode Island that just cannot seem to flow despite all of this rain. Typically it will flow steady from Feb-March through July 4th, then pick back up October to December. With all the rain this summer its been primed but just cannot get it self moving. Quite puzzling actually, I have checked some of the detention ponds that feed it to see if there are any blockages and some of the other natural flows. Evidence of localized stream action but not enough organized, steady flow to feed the stream.
