A/C stopped working

So my air conditioner crapped out all of a sudden. I drove to New Hampshire and it was working fine and then it decided to not work at all for my drive back. I only get ambient-temperature air blowing into the car. The compressor clutch is not spinning at all. I have tested the magnet clutch and blower fuses, along with the blower and A/C relays; all all working fine.

Any ideas before I bring it in?

Check the ac lines. I've been driving my speed 6 for about two months without ac. Mazda said the ac lines are leaking and the repair will be about $435 if they cut me some slack!!! F-that! My friend and I are going to put some dye in it and replace the lines ourselves! They sell both sets at auto-zone. I was told it's hard for the metal lines to leak so it could be the gromets that connect the lines. Check it out.
 
Turns out all it needed was a recharge. Hooray for inexpensive fixes!
