98 V70 AC blows cold for only a hour
I zip around my neighborhood and maybe do some stop and go for an hour or so with ice cold air but after that it just won't blow cold anymore. I would think if it was low on refrigerant it would not be cold from the get go. Any thoughts on where to start?

A couple questions:
When the A/C starts to peter out, does the air flow out of the vents seem to diminish, or does it continue to blow strong but with warm air coming out?
When the A/C malfunctions and then you park the car, is there an unusual amount of condensate running out from under the car?
