House question...

I had a weird thing happen.
I had my outside faucets covered for a year. I just took the covers off today, hooked up the hose, and proceeded to spray the shrubs... for about 3? 5? minutes. Then it just... petered out, or really down to a low trickle spray.
What happened? I went inside, listened around, no sound of running water. Did some kind of "clot" block the pipe? Because they *are* old, and we *have* had one leak from rusting through before. But shouldn't I hear *something* from inside?
I don't want to have to call a plumber if I don't have to, but I don't want to irreversibly damage my house, either.
Advice?
