Yes, that's what happens when you dig something out in a snowstorm. You'll get that overhang. Snow is pretty sticky and has pretty good structural strength until you disturb it. In nature that formation is called a cornice. You get them on mountains that blow snow over a ridge.

I admire your persistence.

Sigh. One last attempt. Magically remove the booth. You'll notice that the volume of snow on top of the booth perfectly fills the gap of the now removed booth AND the gap around it. As in: No one dug it out. The top caught the snow that would have gone around the booth.

Btw this is not a cornice.

Someone dug it out otherwise there'd be no walkway there in the front. Again, as someone who grew up with Maine winters and meters of snow every year imho this looks like someone dug it out either before the storm or at the beginning of the storm (leaving some amount on top. looks like half the amount) and then took the picture later to get this effect. I've seen many, many sugar shacks and ice fishing huts that looked exactly the same in my life.

They may have dug a narrow path to before this storm (and a very narrow one considering the V notch), but they didn't dig around the booth. Just look at the volumes. The snow (not) around the booth was caught by the top. Ok I have to stop coming back, you don't even know this isn't a cornice from wind. Ciao.
