I wouldn’t advise anyone to learn Russian reading "Snow storm", unless your level is proficient. I can see so many obsolete words and expressions here, let alone the grammar forms.

Достопамятную, во всей округе, по пяти копеек, прочили, предмет, избранный ею, в отпуску, само по себе разумеется, равною страстию, склонность, нежели, всякий день, видались, сперва, весьма, романическому, предаться ему, несколько времени.

That's one of the complaints I have. I learned to read by many things, not the least of which are stories that I got off the internet. And through experience, I find that a lot of the words I use are considered wrong, or archaic. So I don't know what to think most of the time. As a general rule, I want to learn to begin with that vocabulary which is contemporary.
