HIGH POINT, N.C. — A lot of folks across the South are enjoying a snow day. But not Dale — or so it seemed.
On Friday, a closing notice was aired on FOX8 that Metal Works of High Point would be closed today, but Dale would be working.
The closing read:
Metal Works of High Point
Closed Today; Dale to work normal hours
#poordale has since started trending on Twitter.
Metal Works of High Point said it was all a joke and that Dale did not work on Friday.
