It's not uncommon to see sun dogs with all the blowing ice crystals in the North Dakota winter, but I can't remember seeing a full halo around the moon before! I saw this "moon dog" last night.
It's the same phenomenon as a sun dog in that the ice crystals act as a prism. It's the same reason you see a rainbow through mist.
