Checking the ol' freon level

Its escaping me, so could someone refresh my memory on how to check the freon level of the a/c?

you need some gauges, you can buy them at any auto parts store and i think i saw them at wall mart on clearance a few weeks ago

Lets put it this way, until 3 days ago the thermometer in my dash center vent with the a/c on was 39 degrees. Today it was at a constant 78 which is a little higher than the outside temp of 72 with the a/c engaged.

With weather coming up, I'd like to knock out those pesky foggy windows quickly, and the way to do so is with the a/c turned on.

Its not the fact that winter's coming or summer's coming or the second coming of [insert diety here] is coming, its the fact that the a/c doesn't work.

Sounds more like the compressor isn't kicking on. You wouldn't go from cold to nothing overnight unless you somehow punctured one of the lines.
