Default A/C in Honda CRV 2001 Compressor kicks on, freon is at pressure, no cold air?

I have a 2001 Honda CRV all wheel drive, the car has about 140,000 miles on it and other than the A/C its in great shape. I dont know if this makes a difference but the cabin air filter probably hasnt been changed at all since the vehicle was purchased. The A/C stopped working last summer. From what I remember it was working fine and than started blowing warmer air out every day until finally it just would get cool at all.

The compressor still kicks on as if its trying to blow cold air. I've checked the freon pressure and it is at the correct pressure (I used one of those guages that came with a can of refrigrant that I bought at the zone).

The air coming out seems to be slightly cool but not significantly, it could just be feeling cool because its blowing so hard.

Any ideas why its not working?

You have a slow leak and it's finally low enough you don't feel a chill. Pressures change with the ambient temperatures so you don't really know what's in the system. Go get it filled and have dye added so the mechanic can trace the leak next time it gets warm again. The condenser in front of the radiator is a likely item for leakage, that's where the stones hit.
