Bang! Then a/c goes out

We have a 1998 Volvo S70 glt and while sitting at a traffic light, there was a big bang, and a puff of grey smoke from under the hood.
Now when you turn on the a/c, it just blows with no cold air.
Any ideas?

Something blew up that contains the refrigerent. More than likely an AC hose burst.
