There should be NO insulation in the overhanging area. I think what
happened is that water made it's way under the edge of the shingles into
the eaves area, and then ran down towards the house.
This is just shitty work, plain & simple. Did you take any pictures
during the work? I think they forget the edge flashing.
To fix this, they will need to open up the overhang in a few spots to
check for damage (there's a chance this could have gone into the walls).
It shouldn't take much to fix if they forgot JUST the flashing, but
still, they missed something, and it just doesn't work.
You won't have much problems after the last of the snow is gone off the
roof, but this needs to be fixed soon.
