A lighter gauge cord will not result in burning out the motor on the
snowblower but may result in the cord catching on fire from excess heat.
Not sure about that.

These people thing a voltage drop over a too small cord can affect the

Thanks for the link. You may be correct. But the fire hazard is also a
concern.
