The same thing is happening here. We had a decent dump of rain in the middle of March and the end of April and again in the last 24 hours. As yet the reservoirs aren't getting the runoff because the water is just soaking into the parched ground. A few more dumps like this and the ground will be full of moisture and the stream runoffs will start increasing.
Next week, more rain is forecast and the first snowfalls of the year are also expected. (the last snows in many places were on Christmas day, last summer)
