Default AC just blows air, Low freeon?

I haven't been driving my car much. my AC used to blow ice cold air. I took my car out for a drive and I had it turned all the way up and on "COLD" and all it was doing was blowing air... not cold at all. I pretty much had to turn it off and roll my window down for air. What might the problem be? Could I be just low on Freeon?

I actually got mine fixed today. I was having the same problem you were, blowing air but not cold. Took it to the boys at Jiffy Lube, AC compressor kicked on so that wasn't the problem. They made sure it held a charge and then filled it up with freon. Now it's blowing ice cold (well 50 degrees F).

20 bucks?
I thought the freeon recharge (old one) was really expensive.
