Since the Sun moves over the equator, at least at one point of the year, and the remainder no more than 22 degrees above or below, which makes it a 44 degree swing, it is very unlikely that the equator will ever at any point freeze.
However, if we expend on this a little bit, in time the planets shift may prove me wrong. It has been known that in past history the axis of the planet has shifted to an extend that the Sahara as an example was a (kind of) rain forest, and equally the poles where covered in forest. That kind of shift could mean that there is a real possibility in the future that the equator at some stage will be like the antarctic or the arctic.
At present, against popular belief, the planet is going through a shift that causes climates to move from one area to another. Like winter in the lake districts is later and or earlier than in the last 20 to 50 years has been the case. No cause for alarm. It's just a climate shift that's all.
Look into this some more using Wikipedia, I find it a good source of information. Try it sometime.

When it is winter above the equator what season is it below the equator?
If it is summer at the South Pole, then everywhere in the northern hemisphere is experiencing winter.
When is sun closest to equator?
in the northern hemisphere the sun is closest to earth in the dead of winter
Why does the equator not have a cold season?
No matter which way the poles tilt, the equator always receives enough direct sunlight to prevent a winter. Though, if there are no clouds to trap in the heat of the day, the equator can be very cold at night.
Is a real winter supposed to be about having snow on the ground each winter day?
A 'real' winter is whatever winter you've got, in some places there is snow on the ground and in other places it's just cold and nasty. Other winter seasons, for instance around the equator, are very mild.
Why do some states get snow every winter?
It depends on their location and other natural factors. The further somewhere is from the equator, the colder its winter will be. So places further from the equator are more likely to get snow. Places with high mountains in those areas far from the equator are more likely to get snow than at ground level. Winds and even sea currents can have an impact. So there are lots of reasons why some places get snow.
When it is winter above the equator what season is it below the equator?
If it is summer at the South Pole, then everywhere in the northern hemisphere is experiencing winter.
When is winter in Africa?
It depends where you are in Africa. If you are North of the Equator winter is December, January, and February. If you are South of the Equator your winter is June, July, and August.
Is the temperature contrast between the equator and the Arctic region greatest in the winter or in the summer?
The difference would be greatest in the winter, because the temperature near the equator is relatively constant, but the Arctic is considerably colder in the winter.
What places stay green in the winter?
Places closer to the equator.
When is the sun the greatest distance from the equator?
Summer and Winter Solstice
Is it winter or summer in Egypt?
Since Egypt is located north of the equator, and it is February as I type, it is winter in Egypt.
What months are winter in Peru?
because it is south of the equator it is opposite the USA
Are locations near the equator warm in summer and cold in winter?
Assuming the weather is the same in a place near the equator and far from the equator, the temperature at the place closer to the equator will generally be warmer.
When during the year is daylight shortest?
in the winter : the sun is lower in the sky in winter so it takes less time to set :D
Which countries have summer in December?
Summer occurs south of the equator at the same time winter occurs north of the equator and vice versa.
What is the average winter temperature in Brazil?
around 22 - 24 degreesit has no real winter because it is so close to the equator
Can you avoid winter if you live near the equator?
Technically, winter still exists, it just doesn't have much of an impact. You don't have to live all that close to the equator to "avoid winter". Winter in south Florida or coastal Southern California basically means "you might want to wear a windbreaker at night", and Hawaii doesn't even experience that, despite its southernmost point being still well over a thousand miles from the equator.
