By Scott Malone BOSTON (Reuters) - Millions in the Northeast on Wednesday started digging out from a powerful blizzard that dumped up to 3 feet of snow and led to coastal flooding around parts the region, while largely bypassing New York City. Snow was forecast to continue falling in the area throughout the morning, although the National Weather Service had lifted blizzard and winter storm warnings across New England. In Massachusetts, which was hit particularly hard, a record-breaking 34.5 inches (88 cm) of snow fell in Worcester, and the 24.4 inches (62 cm) at Boston's Logan International Airport approached record proportions, NWS officials said.
