Salt silos can be found usually in areas where snow is prevalent in the winter months - like NY State, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Illinois etc. The ones I have seen are brown and round with one large open door on the side and the salt can be seen inside. The salt is used for the roadways during winter months. Actually I have never seen salt silos in any other shape. Thanks

Round is a structurally sound and compact shape. I have never seen salt silos. I have seen salt hills.

In St Clair Michigan is where I have seen the biggest silo ever.Huge and round. I guess they are round so the salt slides down easier,than any other shape? Isn't that what makes a silo a silo? The shape?
