does the mixture of fuel stabilizer, oil, and gas go in the same hole? in a snowblower?

It depends on what kind of snow-blower. If it's a 2-cycle engine, yes. If it's a 4-cycle engine, no.
To tell the difference, if you have a place to check the oil on the engine, then it's a 4-cycle and you do NOT put oil in the gas. If it does not have a place to check the oil, then it's a 2-cycle and you DO mix 2-cycle oil in the gas. Make SURE it's 2-cycle oil or you will burn up the engine. The fuel stabilizer goes in both.
Typically the very small snow blowers are 2 cycle and the larger ones are 4 cycle. You really need to make sure which yours is prior to put any gas in it. Also the mixture is rather important, if it's a 2 cycle. There are several possibilities. 25:1, 30:1 40:1 and 50:1. 25:1 means 25 parts gas and 1 part 2 cycle oil and so on.

Only if it is a 2 Cycle engine. If it requires 2-Cycle engine oil mixture... yes you can add fuel stabilizer to that and it would all go into your tank.

Did you go to the website for that particular make and model of snow blower?

yup. But once it's filled, stir it up, like with a pencil or something.
