If I understand correctly, you have misread the note. You are referring to Suppression fire modification from evasion adjustments -3?
What this means is that the HF suffers target evasion +1 (due to winter), the HF is firing with "bombardment" or "suppression" fire (as always against a land unit), and hence the +1 evasion adjustment additionally results in a -3 penalty.
The description could probably be a little more clear. In particular, it should probably say Bombardment fire modification from evasion adjustments -3.
At any rate, evasion modifiers also cause a die roll penalty (or bonus) for bombardment attacks (in addition to the change of evasion). This is to provide some additional weight to evasion modifiers for bombardment attacks, because a change of evasion hardly has an impact on bombardment attacks. Without this additional modifier out-of-supply artillery hardly suffers at all when it fires, for example.
