ABC is on channel 13, which is VHF. Furthermore, you have a stronger Canadian analog broadcast (CKTM) that is going to make reception of WVNY very difficult or impossible. I think you may end up with no ABC at least until the Canadian analog broadcasts go off the air.

For the other local channels, I can wait until next summer when Canada goes digital and I assume those channels will move into the UHF range also.

I wouldn't necessarily count on it. A lot of US broadcasters kept their high VHF channels (for brand recognition and RF propagation reasons). Some Canadian broadcasters may choose to do the same. You might be fine with UHF-only antenna for US digital channels for now, but you may end up adding a VHF antenna later if some of your local broadcasters decide to remain there.
The antennas mentioned in the previous post will give you the best chance of receiving the more distant channels.
