musty smell from vent

Today I turned on my a/c and a musty smell came out of the vents. Could it be I haven't had the a/c on all winter. I didn't notice it when I had the heater on. But man the a/c blows cold.

When you use the A/C system and if you do not turn it off and the vent system on hi about a mile from parking the truck this will accrue. Doing this will dry the A/C coil.
On the other hand if you leave the A/C on until you park then water will stay in the A/C coil and dry there and when you turn it back on you will have the smell.
