First guess is an ethanol related issue. I've had them before due to not summerizing my snow blower properly. Lesson learned.
Water in the system is a real possibility, also due to ethanol. I'd do what AC2717 and Mark said first.
Get it warm and try. Maybe some starter fluid as well. If it starts with the fluid and then dies it might be time to drain the carb and possibly clean out any varnish in the ports from bad gas.
Also, there are plenty of used snow blowers on Craigslist these days.

You got that right about ethanol fuel! It's well worth the purchase of non ethanol fuel either in Ossipee, Freedom, Or Wakefield. Otherwise go to HD or Lowes and buy a gallon or 2 of Trufuel. Yeah it might be a bit expensive but whatever you put it in will start!
