It is possibly a measure to keep water out/away from the elevator drain holes, while parked up. Any accumulated water would also drain away and down. Not into the elevator via the drain holes.

It could also not provide a level surface so snow would be less likely to accumulate.

I dont fly the aircraft in question but i have operated aircraft where we employed this procedure.
