A 1975 graduate of Connetquot High School, Bolaris started his career in 1982 at Metro Weather Service where he worked as a syndicated meteorologist until 1987, when he joined News 12 Long Island.

At the time of the blown forecast, Bolaris did accept full responsibility and apologized in a cover story in the Philadelphia Daily News.

Philly. com also reported that on January 5th, a Fox 29 employee emailed the Daily News asking to remove Bolaris ’ photo from the Fox weather forecasts on Page 2 of the Daily News.

Bolaris would be later phased out from WCAU and would rejoin New York's WCBS Channel 2 for a second stint between 2002-2008.

During the week leading up to the storm, Bolaris urged viewers to stay home and make alternate arrangements for an impending Monday storm that was to dump snowfall similar to the Blizzard of 1996 that hit Philadelphia.

John Bolaris ( born June 27, 1957 ) is the former chief meteorologist for WTXF, the Fox affiliate in Philadelphia.

Bolaris also worked at Philadelphia's WCAU-TV NBC 10 after his first stint at WCBS-TV.

After leaving WCBS the first time Bolaris relocated to Philadelphia, where he went to work for then-CBS affiliate WCAU-TV.

Toward the end of his second time at the station Bolaris was taken off the nightly newscasts, working mornings and weekends until his departure.

On December 22, 2011, Bolaris was suspended indefinitely from WTXF.

Bolaris has won four Emmy awards — three for Best Weathercaster and one for Best Entertainment Host for " Time Out ," a show he co-hosted for five years on NBC 10.

He has one daughter, Reina Sofia with Tiffany McElroy formerly of New York station WPIX, who also worked with Bolaris at WCAU in Philadelphia.

By comparing the upcoming storm to a past storm, Bolaris made a prediction on a Wednesday that scared viewers into staying home and preparing for a major storm.

It was the last night of the February sweeps ratings period and Bolaris was accused of hyping the storm for ratings.

Bolaris, as chief meteorologist, never took the opportunity to change the forecast over the weekend.

Following the storm that wasn't, Bolaris was booed when his face was shown on the video screen at a Philadelphia Flyers game and Bolaris claims that he even received death threats from viewers.

Bolaris told Philadelphia Magazine in 2007 that the incident still haunts him and played a role in his departure from WCAU to return to New York, but refused to accept the full blame for his forecast because no one believed the path of the storm would change as drastically as it did.

In March 2010, Bolaris was the victim of a " Bar Girls " scam run by an international crime ring.

In April 2011, with the help of Bolaris ' testimony, the FBI busted the crime ring and arrested 17 people.

Shortly after the issue was released ( in early December 2011 ), Bolaris was suspended indefinitely from FOX 29.

It was reported that station management was unhappy with the way Bolaris came across in the article.

On January 4th, 2012, Bolaris tweeted that he would like to return to work at Fox 29.
