Indeed, though you could probably do pretty well by getting a NEXUS membership for this use case. At least for now, though obviously US-Canada relations are getting stupider by the week so who knows how many dumb roadblocks will end up being thrown up.
I just noticed that Syracuse has an airport with passenger service, only 2 ½ hours away, so that's another option, if the "international flight" hassle plus border crossing actually burns an hour.
Begrudgingly, neither the Ogdensburg nor Massena crossings support NEXUS. Closest ones with lanes are up in Plattsburgh or Alexandria Bay, and to get a NEXUS interview you have to travel the 2 or so hours to central NY.
