The township thing you mention was (and is) true around Peterborough as well (except we were counties). We were lucky enough to live two doors down from the local Reeve, so the snowplows got to us early.
I remember sometimes thinking my parents, and some of my teachers, were idiots, more because they'd often speak things as truth without really checking to see if what they said could be verified.
