Dragged out my snowblower and I noticed that it skips ignitions and
does not "fire" every time. What could possibly account for this?

Wow, you name it! Unstable mixture, water in the gas, dirty spark plug,
degraded magneto coil, bad points (if it has them), wrong ignition
timing (can be the shearable key in the flywheel), loose head bolts,
bad valves. Hmm, can't think of too many more.
