Where you’re planning on plugging it in, do you know if you have a 20 amp outlet, 12 gauge wire in the walls, and a 20 amp circuit in your electrical panel (assuming the snowblower is > 15a). The worst that would happen is that your extension cord would get hot and start on fire - highly unlikely, and since it’s not enclosed in a wall, it’s not really a big deal. If your snowblower is 15a or less, 14ga wire is fine. If it’s 20a, then you should have 12ga wire.
