Hi Jerome:
Shouldn't be too bad.
You could disconnect the fuel line at the carb and drain the tank.
Drain and flush the carb. Reconnect the fuel line and fill with fresh gas.
If it won't start, pull the spark plug and clean/dry it with a propane torch, or replace it.
Odds are it will be fine.
Cheers.
The fuel pickup tube in the carburetor is probably clogged. I don't know how handy you are, but you have to remove the carb, disassemble it and blow out all the orfices with compressed air and possibly run thin wires into the tubes and holes. Good Luck! the last time I had to do this was in the middle of a snowstorm!
If you're Toro electric blower is slowing down, throwing sparks, overheating or not starting you may need to replace the carbon brushes. Replacing brushes and cleaning commutator early can prevent damage to motor armature!

1 dont tilt the blower forward. the paddles are not supposed to touch the ground. the only thing that should rub the ground is the scraper bar. that bring us to number 2. 2 damage to the scraper bar would cause the same thing.. not likely if the machine is that new.
It's possible your auger may be worn, and it is not moving / propelling enough snow to make up the difference to blow the snow at the angled setting. It may throw the snow forward better due to less resistance, rather than the snow having to propel around an angle / curve. Just a thought for now.
Keep it in the kitchen over night. Or anywhere that is environmentally controlled for that matter. Should start right up as soon as you get it outside.
